"Learning to live with wet clothes in the Tatras" Poland by richiecdisc

Poland Travel Guide: 19,725 reviews and 43,493 photos

For most, Poland does not conjure up the magic of romantic places like Italy or scenically gifted ones like Switzerland, but on close scrutiny, it is a country that has its share of all of the above. From the majestic peaks of the Tatras to the gently pretty Baltic coast, Poland has plenty to offer the visitor visually. With historically enthralling Krakow and national capital Warsaw, a testament to Polish resiliency, you have a country more than worthy of exploration. Add to this, a friendly, helpful population and great low costs, and its one you just cannot miss.

I took that same hike up in the Tatras but there seems to have been more snow when I went. Glorious scenery.
