Zakopane · Things to do

Kościeliska 18. Witkiewicz's first Zakopane Style house, now the museum of the style itself. Small, strange and genuinely lovely.

A tiny old graveyard of hand-carved wooden markers where Zakopane's artists, guides and mountain rescuers are buried. Free and quiet.

The 1925 ski jump above town, still hosting World Cup nights. Walk up beside the inrun for a properly vertiginous look downhill.

A big thermal pool complex 25km west, with outdoor pools facing the Tatras. Open late, and the answer to a rained-out day.

A short, steep two-hour climb from town to a rocky viewpoint at 1,377m, with a full Tatra panorama and a fraction of the crowds.
