Walk the hills around Rabka Zdroj in southern Poland - fabulous views
The town of Rabka Zdroj nestles in the Gorce hills, part of the Beskid chain in southern Poland. These hills are truly a walker's paradise - once out on the hills you won't want to go home, one fabulous view follows another. Polish countryside is open and mostly unfenced - you can walk almost everywhere. The woods and forests are not overly managed - just as nature intended. Even if you're not an avid hill walker, this area will inspire you to become one.The best month for walking is September.
The photographs on this page were taken on the 30th of September 2007. The temperature was around 18 degrees but felt warmer because of the lack of wind. Click on the photographs to view larger images and enjoy.
It's always interesting on the hills around Rabka Zdroj, not only because of the wonderful scenery but because of the other walkers and people you stumble across.
We met the most beautiful husky cross dog out for a walk with its owners. It had lovely blue eyes - a real cutie. 
Then there was a nun with a small group of people who stopped beside a wooden cross on the hillside - we assume they were going to pray. From this place, the world is simply paradise and anyone would be thankful.To get to this walk, walk to the top of ulica Słoneczna in Rabka Zdroj, through the meadow and follow the path to the right. Head for the small hill to your right.
As you can see, the views are simply superb. On a clear day it is possibe to see the Tatra mountains on the horizon to your right as you ascend the hill.
