Top Sightseeing Spots

The views that made Zakopane famous.

1. Morskie Oko (Eye of the Sea)

Morskie Oko

The largest and fourth-deepest lake in the Tatra Mountains. It is surrounded by towering peaks and is one of the most beautiful places in Poland. The water changes color from green to blue.

2. Kasprowy Wierch

A peak accessible by a modern cable car. The ride itself offers breathtaking panoramic views. At the top (1,987m), you can stand with one foot in Poland and one in Slovakia.

Important: Buy tickets online in advance! The queues can be 3-4 hours long in summer.

3. Wielka Krokiew (Ski Jump)

An architectural icon. You can take a chairlift to the top of the jump and look down to see exactly what the ski jumpers see before they fly. It is terrifyingly high!

4. Jaszczurówka Chapel

A perfect example of the "Zakopane Style" architecture. This wooden chapel is built without a single nail. It is surrounded by forest and feels very peaceful.
