ZAKOPANE WITH DOGS

Dogs in the Tatra National Park

The only places in the Tatra National Park where you can go with your dog are:

Droga pod Reglami (Road under Regle) - from the bottom of the ski-jumping hill Wielka Krokiew to the entrance of the Koscieliska Valley. Almost 9km long, fairly wide path (after rain it can be slippery), without high elevations, easily accessible in summer and winter. Droga pod Reglami passes on the very Tatra National Park border, partly through the forest, partly between the forest and fields.
Dolina Chocholowska (Chocholowska Valley) - picturesque valley, located in the Western Tatras. Almost 8 km long - at the end of the valley there is a large mountain shelter where you can relax and enjoy a tasty meal.

Note! In July and August as well as and in spring when the crocuses are blooming, the valley is very crowded so if you decide to walk your dog there please do it early morning, before 9 am, or in the afternoon, after 5 pm.

During summer walks with the dog, be very careful if you see a flock of sheep. Shepherd dogs that guard them can be very aggressive towards your dog.
