About This Route

High-alpine majesty in the Polish Tatras. This route circumnavigates the foothills of the highest Polish mountains, starting in Zakopane, the winter capital. You'll drive past unique wooden architecture with steep, shingled roofs and through the breathtaking Chochołów village. WARNING: This involves significant climbing and alpine weather. Your van's heating and cooling should be in top shape. The reward is sharp, snow-capped granite peaks and highland culture.
