In the West Carpathians, walk in Poland's stunning Tatra Mountain range to discover rich wildlife, a unique mountain culture and pretty villages. Reach picturesque viewpoints with 360-degree panoramas of the forest topped Pieniny Mountains and endless lush valleys. See how the Dunajec river weaves its way through the limestone of Pieniny National Park, leaving stunning gorges in its wake. Keep your eyes peeled to spot active wildlife: foxes, lynxes, wolves and bears all still live in this well preserved and protected region. Marvel at the harmony between the rugged wild nature and the beautiful, flower-filled pastures maintained by hillside locals. Encounter the magnificent Niedzica castle, perched on the water's edge and visit the gothic wooden churches of Debno. Learn about the Podhale region's highland traditions from the villagers you meet along the way, particularly in Zakopane, a special town filled with wood and stone architecture as well as a bustling folk atmosphere. Your reluctance to leave the Polish wilderness will be mitigated by the charming city of Krakow, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This will be a 9-10 day trek through Poland. We might add a little side trip to Lithuania after our trek!!!

Please pay attention to the following:

Many people get excited about international trekking, and it is amazing! It is my passion and one of the things I love most about my life.
I would love to take you all! Realistically, if you have not been committed and dedicated to participating in the Monday, Wednesday and Thursday hikes, your chances are slim that you will be able to go on this trip. I would love to take everyone but obviously I can’t. I will take the people that I KNOW are the most prepared and the most familiar with the group. The people that like to hike with the group and make a point to do it whenever they can. The people that support their fellow hikers and have displayed patience with the group. Then participation on past international and local trips will be taken into consideration and length of time with the international group. Because this is not a tour, but more of close group traveling together, your relationship with the group and your consideration and support of your fellow hikers is considered.
Lastly, if any there are any open spots, the rest will be given to the members in the best overall shape to participate in the order that they put their names on the list.

You do need to be able to communicate via the meetup message system and you do need to be able to participate on zooms calls with the video and audio working.

Food allergies and preferences can not be accommodated on this trip. After over 20 International trips with the Wanderers that it just cannot be done well. If you have issues you will need to be able to handle them on your own.

Travel insurance is mandatory for this trip.

Making the non-refundable deposit is making a commitment to participate. You are “locked” in when you make your deposit.
