The scenery here is unbelievable. Incredibly beautiful and, away from Trzy Korony and Sokolica, the paths are relatively quiet.

Galeria znajduje się w głównej siedzibie Muzeum Historycznego w Sanoku - w królewskim zamku w centrum miasta. Jest to największa na świecie wystawa prac tego artysty (ok. 600 sztuk).

Words fail to sufficiently describe the incredible collection of works of Beksinski. Items ranged from his early works - including photography and sculptures - to his iconic paintings and late digital explorations until his death. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the modern art scene of late 20th century.
3. Lost Souls Alley

Explore the dark face of the city. Take the challenge and let yourself feel the fear, which has never been so real. Visit rooms haunted by lost souls, and be sure that you will remember forever things which are hidden at the cursed floor at Florianska 6. LOST SOULS ALLEY - Poland's first interactive museum devoted to the basic instinct of fear. Entire floor, which is inspired by horror movies.

Walking into this place I had no idea what I was about to experience as it was booked as a surprise for me hen do (I know I’m weird). It was so amazing I wish I would give it more stars! A must for any person who loves a horror movie. It was like being in one! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for something different to do in Kraków. If anyone is unsure you can leave at any time (which my Sister did as she couldn’t cope). Absolutely brilliant, the highlight of my hen!

We started the day by parking in Palenica Bialczanska, cost to park 25zl. Its best to start as early as possible to avoid the crowds, we were parked and ready to hike at 6 am, by then the parking lot was already half full mostly hikers that are going to Rysy peak. National Park entrance is 5zl per person. The first hour of the hike, about 3km, is along a paved road, that leads to Morskie Oko, this is the red trail. At Wodogrzmoty Mickiewicza waterfall there is a rest area, with tables and bathrooms, there is a path that goes through the forest, this is the green trail which leads all the way to the valley of five lakes. Near the top you can continue on the green trail where you will end up at Wielki Staw (Large Lake) or you can take the black trail, which is a bit harder and has a steeper incline. We choose the black trail as there was less hikers on it. The black trail leads you directly to the Five Lakes mountain chalet by Przedni Staw (Front Lake). If you take the green trail to the top you will see the magnificent Siklawa waterfall which is a 70m high waterfall. The first three lakes are together, Przedni(Front lake), Maly(Little lake), Wielki(Big lake). If you want to see the other two lakes you need to get on the blue trail to Zadni Staw, although it is quite a hike, to see Czarny Staw (Black lake) which is closer you need to get on the blue trail, then get on the yellow trail. We visited the three lakes and headed back, as the weather was starting to change. It took use 3 hrs to get to the lakes and then about the same to return since there was more hikers on the trail. Overall the hike is very good, you cross a few bridges over streams, the entire trail is picturesque. Near the top, on the green trail, there are some rocks that can be slippery. Tips: Make sure to wear hiking boots with all the rocks along the trail it is easy to twist an ankle. Hiking poles are very helpful, when using them you put less stress on your knees. Keep an eye out on the weather while you are hiking it changes very quickly in the mountains. If there is rain or thunderstorms in the forecast do not go into the mountains.

Definitely very best place to hike for me. The only alpine mountains in Poland with altitude 2000 m+. On season (May - October) very, very crowded, especially on weekends, but if you're not going to the most popular trails and peaks (Morskie Oko, Kasprowy Wierch, Orla Perć, Giewont), there are many less crowded trails, and some of them are so wild that you can meet 5-10 people in 3 hours of hiking. Entrance to the national park costs 6 pln (~$2) and it's definitely worth it. I recommend going everywhere by bus (but drivers often don't speak English), because parkings are expensive (20 pln for one day ~$5.5). Just avoid crowded trails and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Forests and ridges are relatively clean, because park's volunteers are cleaning it up very often, so don't litter.

We went November 2019. To our pleasant surprise, it snowed the day before. So, when we started our trek to Morskie Oko, everything was covered in fresh white powder snow. AMAZING!! Be prepared to spend at least 6 hours for the trip. This needs to be done during daylight. So, if you're coming in during November, suggest to start around 7am or even earlier as soon as there is sunlight. Going there: If you don't have a car and you're coming from Zakopane, there are buses that roam around the city that go to Morskie Oko, you can go to a bus stop along the street's main road and catch a bus there (or see the bus schedule). it takes around 30 minutes from the main city to the starting point of the trek. Going to/from Morskie Oko: From the parking lot, you can either walk (will take 1.5 - 2.5 hours per one way) or ride a horse carriage+short walk (50 pln going up, 30 pln going down - cuts walking time by more than half). Bring your own beverage because there is no stall along the road. in Morskie Oko - there are wonderful cafes / restaurants that can sell water, hot chocolate, hot wine, sandwiches etc. It makes up for a nice treat after that trek. Then, in MOrskie Oko, be amazed at the stunning view and you can actually walk around the lake perimeter! :)
