If you stay in Krakow, visiting Zakopane every season is worth visiting. Let's take an example in early summer; on April 3rd week, we are not required to wear Winter Jerkin at "Kasprowy Wierch ", and the mountains with Snow look great. In the early Atom season, the trees turn Yellow colour from Green.
