This video documents our scenic train journey from Krakow to the enchanting Alpine town of Zakopane in Southern Poland. Our primary goal was to witness the breathtaking beauty of Morskie Oko, a stunning glacial lake nestled within the Tatra National Park. However, we soon realized Zakopane offered far more than just this natural wonder.
Traveling by train via Poland's efficient PKP InterCity network proved incredibly convenient and budget-friendly. The journey itself was a visual feast, showcasing the picturesque Polish countryside and culminating in awe-inspiring views of the majestic Tatra Mountains as we approached Zakopane.
Captivated by the charm of Zakopane, we immediately began planning an extended stay to explore the region further. Our intention is to spend a month immersing ourselves in the natural beauty and embarking on numerous rewarding hikes.
