Chochołowska Valley is the longest and the largest valley in Tatra Mountains. Really recommended to visit during your stay in Podhale region. In the 18th century, iron ore was mined there. In the first half of the 20th century, Chocholowska Valley was the area of huge pasturage.

Dolina Chochołowska looks amazing at any time of the year. However, it deserves special attention in spring, when it is decorated with crocuses and in the summer, when the aura is perfect for hiking. Trail is really easy so you can go there even with small children. You can reach Polana Chochołowska with a highlander horse carriage or in the summer season – by a “tourist train Rakoń”. We also recommend to ride a bike.

When we Reach to the „Polana Chochołowska” we can enjoy fantastic landscapes. We pass Bacówki and reach the intersection of trails – to the left a red trail leads to the Jarząbcza Valley, choosing a short climb to the right we will come to the Chapel of John the Baptist. It’s worth going there because the chapel built in highlander style makes a big impression. Karol Wojtyla prayed there, which is why this place is very popular. From the Jarząbcza Valley you can see the biggest shelter in polish Tatras PTTK Polana Chochołowska. You can try there apple pie with cream and blueberries, which is called “Chochołowski Dessert”.
