Tatra Earth History Archive
Near the entrance to Kościeliska Valley, about 1.5 km from the cabins, you will find the Tatra National Park Nature Education Centre. The entire exhibition is located underground and tells the story of the Tatra Mountains, from the prehistoric ocean to the present day. Across seven multimedia rooms, you can see life-sized models of a dinosaur and a cave bear, among other exhibits. Visits take place in guided groups. The centre is accessible to people with disabilities and is closed on Mondays.
Sleigh rides in Chochołowska Valley and the surrounding area
In winter, traditional horse-drawn sleigh rides are organised by external companies in Chochołowska Valley and the Kościelisko area. Depending on the organiser, the experience may also include a bonfire, refreshments or traditional highlander music. The starting point, route and available dates should be confirmed directly with the chosen organiser.
