After leaving Krakow we visited the alpine village of Zakopane.  High up in the mountains with beautiful views of snow capped peaks and deep green valleys where sheep graze.
The houses are wooden with sloping roofs and window boxes full of colourful geraniums.  Reminded me very much of the Swiss Alps in minuature.

Zakopane is also famous for it's sheeps cheese.  It is made in moulds with fancy patterns and smoked in wooden huts.  You can buy the cheese on every street corner and there are plenty of roadside stalls as well.
