Relaxing routes
Family hiking in the Tatra Mountains is a must for Zakopane holidays. The two most famous routes – to Morskie Oko and Kościeliska Valley – are perfectly prepared even for less experienced tourists, including families with children
Morskie Oko
The trip to Morskie Oko is a classic. A wide, asphalt road leads among mountains and forests, and along the way you can stop at the “Wanta” hostel or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride. The lake itself is stunning – its mirror-like surface reflects the peaks of the High Tatras, creating one of the most beautiful views in Poland. It is a perfect place for a picnic, photos and a moment of silence.
Koscieliska Valley
The Kościeliska Valley, on the other hand, captivates with its nature and diversity. Here you can visit caves (Mroźna, Smoczą or Mylnia), drink water from the Ice Spring and meet a flock of sheep grazing on the mountain pasture. It is a trail that draws children into the world of mountain stories and legends.
Both places are Zakopane attractions ideal for families – they combine movement, nature and shared experiences. The Tatras really are best enjoyed when they are discovered together.
