Zakopane Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

The highest range of the Polish Carpathian Mountains, the Tatry (Tatra Mountains, in English), rise majestically in southern Poland, stretching along the border with Slovakia for nearly 40 miles. Depending on your destination, this countryside of sylvan woods, mountain streams, and snowcapped peaks is within a day's drive from Prague. Well-known to Poles, this rugged landscape is off the beaten path for most tourists. That's all the more reason to spend time here, especially if your older gradeschoolers and teens need a break from city sites.
