The Slovakian part of the Tatra National Park is by far better organized than the Polish part. There is a train that connects towns such as Tatranska Lomnica, Stary Smokovec and Strbske Pleso in case you start your trail in one place and end in another. The trails are mostly well kept, clean and well signed, and most of the Valleys have a mountain chalet in which you can hide from the rain or have some snack or lunch, and you can even sleep there. Some trails are suitable for everybody and some others are more challenging, the most difficult ones have chains for support. I recommend good mountain shoes (some trails get muddy or slippery during rain), a raincoat and a sweater (in case of a weather change, and it changes rather quickly in the mountains). I think the best time to visit the park is either June or September, the peak season is in July and August so it's usually quite crowded. The entrance to the park is free of charge, but most cable cars are quite expensive (we went, for instance, to Skalnate Pleso and it was 16 € per person). The car parks cost about 5,5 € per day, and there is (at least was in August 2017) a free car park in Tatranska Lomnica right by the cable car to the Skalnate Pleso.

This trip is a fantastic experience, the black pond (Czarny Staw, Fekete tó) is a hidden jewel of the Zakopane region. Besides this is a place which is horribly tough to reach but you do not need mountain climbing experience or an outstanding physical condition. Be careful though, locals say that you should not venture it without boots that protect your ankles, and they are absolutely right although many people do not take this advice. It's a glacier lake above Morskie Oko. If you want to do it and you are not super sportive it is advisable to reach Morskie Oko on the horse carriages offered at Lysa Polana parking lot for 50 zl/person upwards. After you get off the carriage, you walk 1,5 kms on concrete, then reach the lower lake, Morskie Oko which is in itself a beauty. You have a restaurant here so it is comfortable and you can buy water bottles from a vending machine. You might be badly in need of this as our experience was that you need 1 liter per person from here to go up and down the black pond on a hot summer day. The way is quite steep in some places and quite tyring. From Zakopane to the black pond by car, then carriage then on foot to and fro, the whole journey takes around 8-10 hours or more. However it is absolutely worth it !!!!

Nice place to visit if you only have few hours in this area...walk around the lake takes 40-60 minutes depending on your speed and "traffic" because it can get really crowded. The view is beautiful, lake is surrounded by Mountains and there is a lot to do. Good idea if you have small kids, you can hire a bike or row boat or just simply enjoy the coffee with the view This is also one of the popular starting points for tourists, so if you have more time and a lot of energy there is plenty of routes.

We ventured to the top and even had a bite to eat at the top. The ride up and down afforded great views of the entire surrounding area. Can get windy and cool so make sure you prepare.

Worth to go there when you are in Tatra Mountains, this is one of the most popular and overcrowded places. Quite easy tour, does not require any particular skills, however still you should be prepared for the weather, have good shoes and clothes. You can start from the parking (leaving a car - 25zl for the whole day) and after ca. 2h of walking you will reach the Lake. You will not be alone there - one billion of tourists will be with you. The view is amazing, this is one of the pearls in Poland. In winter the lake is completely frozen.

Lakes of Love are few small mountain lakes on the way to the main lake of Štrbske pleso. Hidden in the woods and very romantic. There are not so many people around so you could sit on the bench and enjoy the nature. Lakes are very clean and refreshing.

Sedačková lanovka Solisko dává možnost i méně zdatným turistům dostat se pod vrcholy Tater a zkrátit si cestu na příklad na Bystré sedlo. Nádherné rozhledy do údolí, na Štrbské pleso, ale i na Nízké Tatry. 2 restaurační zařízení. Nejsnadněji dosažitelný vrchol Přední Solisko láká množství malých i velkých turistů. Známé zimní lyžařské středisko.
