Student trip to the glacial lake Morskie Oko in the Tatra Mountains: active recreation, nature, and unforgettable experiences

We invite students to discover one of the most beautiful glacial lakes in Poland — Morskie Oko!

Located in the heart of the Tatra Mountains, it is a true gem of the national park and is often called the “fairy tale of the Tatras”.

What awaits you:

• hiking trail to Morskie Oko (≈ 8.6 km one way);
• crystal-clear glacial lake with breathtaking mountain views;
• optional hike further up to Czarny Staw above Morskie Oko;
• horse-drawn carriage ride available — convenient, but quite an expensive option;
• walks through scenic pine forests and mountain trails;
• photo stops with panoramic views that will take your breath away.
