Enjoy Zakopane with us 🇵🇱
Dziękuję za obejrzenie😄
Another great video. I'm on diet, so the food you show is killing me:). Try OSCYPKI cheese, typical from the Tatras. And do not tell me you don't have Polish roots somewhere is the family because your pronunciation of most of the words is just perfect. And grammar too! Zapiekanka (singular), zapiekanki (plural).
@@izabela1961 Thank you so much Iza!
Words ending with an 'a' they are most simplicity. The 'i ' on the end is plural.
Im going To Zakopane Today ! , and Kraków
It's a tourist trap and very, very busy at all times I've visited. But the surrounding country side is absolutely beautiful, and the people are polite and helpful to tourists.
Yes seems like that so do you think staying in a neighbouring place may be better?
Zakopane is a centre of Goral culture and is often referred to as "the winter capital of Poland". It is a popular destination for mountaineering, skiing, and tourism. Zakopane lies near Poland's border with Slovakia, in a valley between the Tatra Mountains and Gubałówka Hill.
When in Zakopane take a cable car to Kasprowy Wierch to see beautiful Tatra Mountains panorama (if the weather is ok). On your way back, you can admire ski jumping hills, Wielka Krokiew and Średnia Krokiew and also make it to the top of Wielka Krokiew to see how brave are the guys who with their skies decide to jump off the hill ;) If you like hot springs definitely visit Chochołowskie Termy which are very close to Zakopane and one of the best in region (definitely the biggest). Also Chochołów has a nice old wooden buildings in its village center that are worth seeing. Enjoy!
Amazing! Thanks for this information Artur!
We extended our stay in Zakopane because we have so much to do.
Cheers 🍻
Guys you have really good prounciation
Thank you!! Luke's stepfather is from Rzeszow, so he should at least know some small things haha.
The language is difficult for sure, but we are in love with Poland!
-Luke & Naomi
Guys, I have seen you are planning Morskie Oko - of course this is kind of must have but... the road there is a concrete for 2 hour and just the ending is beautiful. However, if you start the same route but after the waterfall - turn right to GREEN route (you will see the sign painted on trees) on a way to DOLINA PIECIU STAWOW - this is is great piece of nature. 2-3 hours of hike, beginning is a bit of hill but you guys look fit! later it becomes more flat and you will manage for sure :) the place is beautiful - 5 lakes surrounded with high mountains....
Oh wow! we have to try that one!
The weather here is really not great at the moment, so hopefully sometime this week we can go.
- Luke & Naomi
Spot on pronunciation with Smaczek and also with zapiekanki being plural and zapiekanka singular. Congrats!!! Can't wait for another vid from you!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@TwoMadExplorers It's worth mentioning that Poles call chips 'chipsy', which is a plural of a plural ;)
I once asked my American friend to make some pierogies for me so that I can call them 'pierogiesy'.
Zakopane is BEAUTIFUL 😍
Krupowki is a great street! Warm beer in the winter ❄️
Quickly changing weather is the definition of Tatra. I was born there and I'm lucky to have a flat there... but I live 800km away, so I often just look up videos to check out, so thank you for the fresh good quality look around.
I personally love the feel when I get there in the colder months, when you are 20-30 kilometers away, you suddenly literally feel the coldness in the car, the temperatures drop 5-10C just like that and you suddenly see 0, -5 or -15C on the thermometer...
This is all I love in that place ❣️
Hats off when enterring church.
Amazing place, I was there all the way back in 2001 and it was already a happening place. Also I’m glad u mentioned the weather, I remember it was sunny there almost every day until 4-5pm, then it would get cloudy and rain.
Thanks for watching Martin! Yes this place is truly amazing!
We love you for your humblness.
Thank you Robert!!
Thx for promoting Poland
Waiting for next videos :)
Thank you!!
Yes, Naomi looks very nice in this hat.
If you get a chance go to the Mazuria region in north-eastern Poland, famous for it's 2000 lakes. Sailing, canoeing, fishing, romantic walks in the woods etc. I also recommend visiting Białowieża National Park, with its bigest Bisons herd in the world.
Have a pleasant stay in Poland.
Perfect, we are going on vacation to Zakopane this year and your videos are very useful, thanks
Enjoying With Zakopane will be great one.
Looks lovely
5:47 This church was built between 1877-1896 so it's not that old. It looked quite new inside, because not long before your arrival, it had undergone a major renovation, including repainting all the old paintings on the walls.
For those from US Zakopane in the winter is equivalent of Aspen, Colorado. Usually high rollers come here during ski season.
Thank you guys!!!!! Send you much love ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Pamiętaj o jednym kiedy się wchodzi do Kościoła to zdejmuje się nakrycie Głowy. Film jest dobry i wspaniale że są polskie napisy.
hats off in any religious building just for the respect. Good point!
Zakopane is Las Vegas of polish mountains but nice that you liked it
👍🇵🇱 we love all of Poland so far! We have been to 13 towns and cities so far 🙏
Ooooh. ZAKOPANE yejjj. Always wanted to return there after all these years...awesome video..
BTW you guys are crushing the pronounciation of the words. Polish is not an easy language ..chock full of consonants. Bravo 👏
Beautiful mountain views😍
It really is!
Thanks Ewa :)
- Luke & Naomi
Just amazing ❣️ well done guys,as always another great video 😊
❤❤❤
You both speak Polish very well. Excellent and detailed video, keep it up! Stunning views. I am glad you both enjoyed Poland, come back soon! 😄
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will be here in less than a month can’t wait wish I had learned Polish before my grandmother passed away should could speak fluent Polish. Somewhere over there I may have family if they survived the war.
Miss Zakopane :( My holidays was fun here
Love your videos. I I'm from Dzierzoniow near Wroclaw. But I've been around Poland. Zakopane is definitely one of the places you have to see when in Poland.
Thank you ❤️❤️
A lot of interesting places there if you like mountains: Nosal (if you want to taste a bit of short mountain hiking in May for warmup in Tatra Mountains), Gubałówka, Kasprowy Wierch (if you dont like long hiking you can try it with cable car), Rusinowa Polana (chilling with great mountain views) / Gęsia Szyja, Morskie Oko / Czarny Staw, Dolina Kościeliska (and some caves along the way), a bit longer trip for: Hala Gąsienicowa, Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy, Grzes Mountain (good physical condition needed), longer trips for Dolina 5 Stawów Polskich, Giewont, Czerwone Wierchy (on both icing possible in May) and if you like more extreme and long adventures (not for beginners in high mountains and not for ones with acrophobia) a lot of High Tatra Mountains Summits: Rysy, Kościelec, Świnica, Zawrat, Orla Perć and Przełęcz pod Chłopkiem (ones of the hardest mountains trails in Poland with lovely views)
Wow thank you Adrian!
A lot of great info that we can use for our stay here :)
We will be doing Kasprowy Wierch and possibly Rusinowa Polana for this trip!
Thanks for the great comment!
- Luke & Naomi
@@TwoMadExplorers Rusinowa Polana is very well for not experienced hikers and offers spectacular views. You can also easily (Green Trail from Kuźnice takes less than 3 hours) walk up to Kasprowy, but please do not wear Converse 😜 to do it. For food I would recommend Zięć Zaprasza, A Babcia Jest Tu Szefem Ul. Balzera 17e Zakopane. It keeps real for years and it might be a good choice on the way back from Rusinowa or Morskie Oko. Try to eat inside there not outside.
To me there's nothing more relaxing than hike alongside brook and I spent plenty of time there.
Rusinowa Polana! 🥰😍🥰
NICE ONE!!
Nice vlog guys. Cannot wait to get there in June! Will have to watch more of your stuff now. Especially your Albania movies!
Awesome! Thank you! hope you enjoy!
@@TwoMadExplorers watching your vlogs front to back :) in your Krakow epizode now.
@@twolovelypeople-lv wow thanks for the great support ♥️🙏🏻
It means a lot to us 🥳
14:34- Don't do helium kids 😂
Beautiful place!
Zakopane "kinda" reminds me of Whistler Canada (which I am hopeful to get for Xmas this year)! Nothing like a Subway Restaurant to improve on a cultural experience 🤣.
Yes!! absolutely stunning :)
Ooooooh Whistler looks out of this world :O
@@TwoMadExplorers We LOVE Whistler ❤
I would say more like Aspen , Colorado. Whistler is more calm. Zakopane in the winter is a crazy place. A lot of high rollers stirring crap.
16:00 This is a train to the top og Góbałówka (Goobauuvka) mount there is a great view from the top of Zakopane.
Amazing !! we visited the top yesterday, the view is spectacular.
Yoy still have to see the Bieszczady mountains😊
You should go some hiking trails in the mountains. These are beautiful places. You go to Zapopane because of the Tatra Mountains and not the shops on Krupówki street.
Thanks for watching! We are here for 7 days and we came here for hiking. We plan on doing 2 hiking routes and Kasprowy Wierch!
We will have videos about the Tatras too :)
Cheers Robert
- Luke & Naomi
@@TwoMadExplorers Dolina Kościeliska i Białego.
It’s is wonderful place
Small back story first. I am an American with no Polish ancestry. My wife was born and raised in Poland, so Polish is her first language. I speak Polish about as well as a two year old. We were in Zakopane over 20 years ago, and the biggest memory for me was taking the cable car to the top of the mountain, Kasprowy Wierch. For those that are Polish or knowledgeable of Zakopane, this was on the old cable car, on the fixed cable. Have not seen the new one, with detachable cable grip, and that was built some time ago. I remember this being rather pricey, but well worth it. I am a life long snow skier, so I've seen a few beautiful mountain sights, but that ride has gorgeous views. We stayed in the Kasprowy Hotel, which would be a wicked place to stay for winter skiing. You can ski from the ski area right to the hotel. Location, location, location. On the top of the mountain, I can remember being able to walk into Czech Republic without having to pass through any customs. That land was wide open, serious mountain territory. There is a trail to hike down, but we went back down on the cable car. My opinion is to see Zakopane, but include the mountain in your plans. Be prepared, as even in May and June, at the top of the mountain, it will be cold, just above freezing.
Incredible story!! Thank you for sharing!!
@@TwoMadExplorers If the two of you are ever planning on visiting northern California, please reach out here. This is my back yard, and I am more than willing to point out major places to see, and things to do. A home grown perspective should be a bit different than any travel guide, and I don't think we will have any language barriers.
@@BDTrooper76 That sounds amazing! Thank you 🙏 we will!
this look all very nice🤩
🍀
I was there in 2009, 2012 and 2018 I enjoyed time there
Beautiful
That zapiekanka 😋
Mágico que lindo video 😮
The church that you visited is the historical second parish in Zakopane. The first one is a wooden one just a few hundred meters north-west from the one you saw. It is next to the historical cemetery where most of notable figures from the city's history lay.
I do like the views❤
Ride Kasprowy Wierch cable car and go down through Dolina Gąsienicowa. Buy tickets online :)
Yes! we have this plan! :)
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
- Luke & Naomi
@@TwoMadExplorers great! Cant wait for Yor vlog!
Oh man ... now I need to get myself zapiekanka ... and yes zapiekanka - singular; zapiekanki - plural.
Visit Morskie Oko. Thanks for another great video. :)
Thank you for watching us!
Yessss we are very excited for the Tatra national park 🇵🇱🙏🏻
Hello there Naomi and Luke, Greetings from Canada, just thought I would look at this video of Zackopena and I like the quaint town. It looks like a ski village of sorts, and I would buy everything in the little shops, because I love quaint little stores.Thanks again for the tour.(From Lori Boyd in my forest city of London,Ontario,Canada)👩💌😎👍🤗😘💕🎈🎀
Naomi your pronounciation of Polish is almost perfect (prolly of your German-Italian roots)! And you got it right! Zapiekanki is prular and zapiekanka is singular. Well done and you both have a great time in PL! :)
BTW: new subscriber here ; ]
P.S.: I'd suggest you some really cool places in PL, but i think it's pointless, cos nobody (of foreign travelers) ever listened to me :D
P.s.II.: You guys absolutely aint the "stupid travelers"! The beauty of traveling is to get to know things, people, culture, language. And you do this. Nobody knows everything!
Noemi, you doing great with translation and pronunciation. Remember, it's all about fun, greetings from Warsaw. It,s fun, hiking in the middle of the winter in deep snow, in the Tatra mountains and sleep there in a shelter.
It's my hometown❤❤❤❤
The intro 😭😭 loved this video, Zakopane is amazing, I'd recommend checking out Dolina Chochołowska which is not far from Zakopane, it's a lovely walk through a valley and it's very easy to do as well. Enjoy guys!
♥️♥️♥️
How do I get there?
I went there in the early eighties.
Quaint, beautiful town, friendly people, very welcoming.
The buildings were fantastic like Swiss Alps hotels.
The church commemorates a local priest, who was murdered by the Nazi's at Auschwitz. He tried his best to help the prisoners, but paid with his life.
I remember I bought a pair of Polish fur lined officer's boots at the market.
The guy said in good English.
"You can either have a pair of soldiers boots for two dollars or officer's boots for five."🙂
Just on the border with Slovakia there's a river where you can take a boat trip through the rapids.
I'm traveling to Krakow in November.
So a visit to Zakopane will be on my agenda.
Thanks for the update on what to see and expect in the town. 👍
Zapiekanka is to small for walk on mountain you should go to milkybar and eat dinner next
Great
Owwwww!!!
Yes one Zapiekanka
Two Zapiekanki =)
Thanks for watching! 👏🏻👏🏻
Guys you making me hungry!😂🤤
I'm glad you realised you went to the wrong Plac for Zapiakanka in Kazimierz, but I will have one from the right place on your behalf 🤭
I've never made it as far as Zakopane yet, Myslenice and the village of Poremba is my limit..........so far.
You have earned my sub!
Thank you so much for following us along Neil :)
Construction of The Holy Family Church shown in the video was completed in 1894.
Fun fact: the church you visited is the Church of the Holy Family and the late Pope John Paul 2nd visited it when he was on holiday when he was Archbishop of Kraków. It's a very popular holiday spot for millions of people.
Your pronunciation of Krupówki Street is spot on.
17:00 I see what you did there. :D You didn't reach the top otherwise what you would find there would shock you. Mount Gubałówka would probably require a separate episoede. :D ;)
Polish o with a slash above is like english double o, like in 'a book'. So Krupówki (-poofkey), smaczek - good!, Yes, zapiekanki is plural, guys, youre amazingly quite good at Polish spelling, stay along :)
Have you seen the skijump called Wielka Krokiew?
Yes in the distance from stare Miasto!
🇵🇱♥️🇵🇱
I look towards visiting pòland
Try to visit Sopot and Gdańsk by the Baltic see
New subscriber here. I will be traveling soon to Poland to see family. Did I hear you correctly that I won't need to test to enter Poland? I will of course check last minute. I am coming from the US and fully vaccinated. I have been to the major Polish cities, but never made it to Zakopane! Enjoying your channel.
Yes! No test required to enter Poland 🇵🇱
But I’m not too sure about US citizens!
Luke is from Ireland and Naomi is half German/Italian!
Thanks so much for watching Susan 😊
@@TwoMadExplorers thanks!
People of Zakopane speak their own dialect of Polish with different words and accent.
Oh wow very interesting!
Are you guys planning to visit some more cities in Poland? like Warsaw, Gdańsk? If so, I'm looking forward to see videos from there:). btw. I've been to Zakopane 28 years ago, it was a cool town back then as well :). Greetings from very east part of Poland.
That's the plan! We will be visiting Katowice, Wroclaw, Lodz, Warsaw, Gdansk, Torun, Sopot, Gdynia!
@Two Mad Explorers you should also visit Poznań, Rzeszów, Lublin and the towns around the Masuria/Warmia region.
@@TwoMadExplorersfor Łódź, ask via www someone young who lives there to show you the city because the greatest cplaces there are in side/lateral streets
i want to know about Kasprzaka? my son is there and will like to see it please if possible
English/Irish is not my native but I agree with Naomi that you are climbing footually. :) Getting the mountain footually is IMHO easier than on the hands (manually). If you had entered manually, I would have applied for the Guinness Award for you. And climbing footually, I could only give you an award in the form of Guinness beer, sounds almost the same or giving you another Like! :)
😆😆😂😂❤️
👍👍👍
would be more helpful if you guys could tell us what that market is called what where it is on the map. Planning my trip but couldn't find that craft market on Google map
Did you have a drone with you?
Miło się z wami zwiedza różne kraje i ich obyczaje.Taka mała uwaga,że w Polsce będąc w Kościele katolickim zdejmuje się czapkę,a to z powodu,że w Tabernakulum jest Przenajświętrzy Sakrament - Ciało Chrystusa.Tak więc następnym razem będąc w Polsce zwiedzając Kościoły zachowaj szacunek i zdejmij czapkę.Serdecznie pozdrawiam i życzę wielu udanych,bezpiecznych wypraw.
❤️
Your Polish is great. Is your backgroung Polish?
Luke's step father is from Rzeszów!
Can you tell us a good place to stay at affordable
What is month when you take vid?
Hi Guys. Please visit Polish west coast in summer time. We have nice beaches full of people and a lot is going on.
We will 🇵🇱♥️
What is the best cities in Poland to visit?
Gdańsk, Sopot, Wrocław, Toruń, Sandomierz. Kazimierz Dolny is small but old and traditional town.
Marlbork castle
Toruń is old city of Kopernicus

Malo was w Krakowie , teraz juz odkrywacie Zakopane? Rosja podobno tez piekna, gory Ural i tak dalej!
I find your pronunciation preety good some words are a bit butchered but the rest is preety on spot!
Thank you!
Which month did you go in? It doesn’t seem that crowded. We are going in July and were advised by friends not to go in July because of how over crowded it gets.
How did you travel from krakow?bus or train? I am coming in 2 weeks time and this will be my third time in krakow and I will visit zakapone,is markets on every day?
We took the bus! Just take a FlixBus it costs just €7
Yes there are markets basically every day in Zakopane for people 👍
@@TwoMadExplorers was that £7 for both for return?i wouldn’t know where to get the bus from both times I’ve been we walked or got trips to places
@@allycat5004 7 was for one way 👍
I think one week is perfect for Zakopane two weeks maybe to long ?
Absolutely perfect 👍🏼🇵🇱
Is it touristy
Don’t worry about mispronouncing Polish. You’re foreign, it’s normal you are not expected to know the language, especially such difficult one :)
Thank you Mac :)

6:26 We as catholics since childhood we have always been taught to enter the Church, as men, without any cap or hat. It is becsuse of the respect to Jesus present eith his body, blood, soul and divinity in the Tabernacul.
Luke, please respect Polish tradition of men taking their head cover off while stepping into a Christian church. I'm sure it will positively contribute to having a great experience in Poland. Thank you. Otherwise, thank you guys for showing us beloved Zakopane. And yes: one zapiekanka, two (or more) zapiekanki 🙂
Please remember as a man to remove your hat inside any church in Poland.
6:27 Men are always expected to remove their hat at church. Saluti
Understood!
Thanks for watching the video Gracz :)
Saluti
A minor if not that minor note: buddy, when you enter church, you should take off your hat, even if you are just a tourist and non-believer. Unless you're a soldier on duty - but you don't look. It is simply a sign of respect, all men do (women can enter their hats without a problem) - this is especially important in Poland, where churches are still mainly places of prayer, not just museums. Regards - enjoy exploring
Thank you for watching!!
Absolutely understood, my apologies.
Have a wonderful week :)
- Luke & Naomi
It would really be great if your faces were not in the way so we could actually SEE what you are describing...
Go ahead and make better videos. We will wait.
Take off your cap next time you are in a catholic church , please.
Thanks for watching!
Understood.
Luke & Naomi
Yikes! Jesus loves you. With a hat or without.
