Hiking in Dolina Chochołowska Valley, Zakopane

From the Zakopane train station, take a minibus for about 30 minutes to Dolina Chochołowska. The valley offers multiple hiking trails, and our goal was Dolina Chochołowska itself. The entire route is approximately 7.3 km, following a stream into the valley. The first section is paved, transitioning to a rocky path midway, but most of the trail is flat and easy to walk. Many people also choose to cycle into the valley. The mountain weather is unpredictable, alternating between rain and sunshine. Along the way, the forest is dense with tall trees. After about two and a half hours, we reached Chochołowska Valley, where vast meadows and grazing sheep are surrounded by mountains. The stunning scenery of the valley is truly refreshing. After dining at the shelter restaurant, we returned via the same route.
