View of the Tatra Mountains from Gubałówka

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great work! You’ve made it up here. We hope it’s sunny so you can enjoy the views. This is one of the best panoramas of the Tatras from the North. Gubałówka is a name that came, as many other ending with “ówka” (Polish) and “ovka” (Slovak) from the surname of the owner of the place. In this case, it could be Gubała. What you can see in front of you is Zakopane city with Giewont wall above it. Roughly, what you can see east from Giewont (to your left) are High Tatras - more rugged, more rocky; and to the west (your right) are the Western Tatras, with some more “gentle” peaks (but not only).

The Tatras are not very big in area: some 57km from the East to the West and 19km from the North to the South. The total area is 785 square kilometers. For comparison, the area of the city of Berlin is 891 sq. km, Warsaw is 517 sq km. Its highest peak is Gerlach (2655 m) in Slovakia. In Poland, Rysy is the highest point with 2499 m above sea level. There is a funicular that links Gubałówka with Zakopane. The carriage of bicycles is allowed. So now, enjoy the way down :-)

Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Jaszczurówka

Highlight • Religious Site

To fully understand the meaning of Zakopane for Poland in the second half of the 19th century: Polish lands had been occupied by Russia, Austria and Prussia since 1795. The recent (1848) Spring of Nations event grew hope amongst the Poles. The Austrian occupation was the lightest, the use of Polish was allowed. Podhale region culture became a symbol of the Polish freedom and Zakopane a meeting place for all the Polish intelligence of that time.

This the reason why it was designed by a top Polish architect Stanisław Witkiewicz, built in 1904-1907. There are beautiful stained glass windows with the “Polish” Lady of Częstochowa and the “Lithuanian” Lady of Ostra Brama with their respective emblemas, very meaningful at that time.
Nowadays the chapel is extremely popular as a marriage place, because of its exceptional charm.
