Zakopane
Several hours from Krakow sits Zakopane, a town known for its unique architecture and the role it played in WWII as a staging point between Hungary and Poland. Now, however, it is a mecca for lovers of the outdoors, particularly in winter. Zakopane has played host to ski championships and events since the 1920s. From Christmas through February, expect to find nature lovers skiing at Kasprowy Wierch or Gubalowka Hill, or traversing the countryside’s forests in the latticework of cross-country ski trails. Mountaineering and spelunking are also popular sports here.
