The Podhale , which means under the mountain meadows, is
located in the foothills of the Tatra range of the Carpathian Mountains.
The region is characterized by a rich tradition of folklore and
inhabited by humorous, religious and welcoming highlanders.

played an important role in polish culture.
Local culture and nature inspired many artists...composers,
painters, poets. Town of Zakopane become main center for polish artistic,
political and scientific life.

traditions, original architecture and beautiful mountain views.
Typically the herds come back at the beginning of September

are fun competitions, music and dance.
