One of the great things about Krakow is that there are so many nearby places that make good day trips. One such destination is Zakopane, a resort town sometimes called "the winter capital of Poland" that lies about 70 miles south of Krakow on the Slovakian border.
The drive there was at least as fun and interesting as Zakopane itself.
Our first stop was Chochołów, a 16th-century village of wooden cottages built by the highlanders living in the region. The homes are still occupied today.

And some of the high points are occupied by storks.
