Hiking in the Tatra mountains, Poland, 27-30.7.2006
In July 2006 I stayed for a couple of days in Zakopane, Poland, and did a two-day hike in the Tatra mountains. It's an area with several mountain lakes and quite stunning views. My hiking route was Kuznize - Kasprowy Wierch - Svinica - Zawrat pass - Dolina Pieciu Stawow Polskich - Morskie Oko - Czarny Staw - Palenica Bialczanska. The pictures were taken during the hike, and the few last ones in the Zakopane town.
