We are Jacob and Jenny, a husband and wife passionate about traveling the world. We started uploading in May, 2021 with a goal to see as much of the globe as possible. After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

and my parents always told me to wear thick socks made of real 100% wool just to avoid abrasions and blisters - remember, always wear what the locals and eat what the locals eat and you will be fine
That is great advice!! We totally agree. Thanks friend :)
Remember! Mountains at night, especially in winter, are no joke! You should go on such a trip just after sunrise!
Yes we definitely left too late! Thanks for watching friend :)
You were safe from bears, because they SLEEP DEEP until April :)
That makes sense!! Thanks for watching :)
As for the bears - it is really hard to spot them during winter as they're sleeping in their dens ;-)
That totally makes sense! Thanks for watching :)
Well, actually there was a vid from couple of days ago in Slovakia where some not that smart person was driving along a bear running on the side of the road. So not all the bears are sleeping yet.
@@otkaczalkawariatka That's true. As far as I know bears do wake up in winter and may sometimes leave their den. But still, it is much easier to meet one in summer ;-)
Jesteście dzielni👍. Gratuluje😉
Thank you friend!!🙌🏼 it was a bit of a struggle haha but now a good story!
Oh my gosh, guys! What an adventure! I was really worried about you while watching this, even though I know that you are safe and sound because you uploaded this video :D Now you know that mountains are no joke, especially during the winter, and even on "easy" routes. A few advises from my side:
1. The earlier you start your hike, the better.
2. Dress in layers and choose natural materials. I recommend merino wool. You can find nice trekking clothes made of merino wool in Decathlon stores.
3. Always have cash with you. Poland is very developed when it comes to cashless payments, but there are places where it is simply impossible. In tourist places, even toilets are paid (in cash).
4. Check weather forecasts and warnings. The avalanche danger level is important. Sometimes even this easy and safe path may turn out to be dangerous.
5. Remember that you can spend the night in a shelter. If you feel that you won't be able to get back before dark, or you are simply exhausted, staying overnight is a good idea.
Stay safe and warm and enjoy your stay :) Can't wait for the next video!
Hahaha I was a little worried living it😅 we really appreciate your concern friend! That is great information!! Thank you so much :)
People in Poland or Germany possible other countries like to walk. When we say it’s not hard or far. It’s because it’s not a main problem to walk for half a day for us. I remember being in scouts in Poland as child we used to walk from town to town in groups during the day/ night few km - it’s great fun. Anyway I am probably too old now myself to walk distance too - not sure how many km did you make but you should be able to make up to 10km a day no problem looking at your faces looking similar to mine in age. 😉 you are probably few years younger in fact.
It's about 9 km.
@@mpingo91 then it’s not a problem. 😇 good workout. 🤙
@@miaemilia6462 8 km up and 8 km down to be precise :)
@@kamilkrupinski1793 not bad in that case. Nicely done. Not sure how I would do 😂😂😂
@@miaemilia6462 This is not bad unless there is deep snow like right now :) In summer I did the road in 1 hour 30 minutes (not running and with 20 kilo backpack).
Morskie Oko is the location that just speaks to my soul. I've been there a few times and if magic was real I'm sure fairies would live there 😅. I highly recommend coming back in summer for a beautiful enchanted forest moment ❤
It is so incredible!! We definitely need to come back in the summer! Thanks for watching :)
You are authentic, friendly, unmannered and brave. Do this route in such snow 💪👍👏 respect! Watching you, I have the impression that if I connected you to the network, your energy + enthusiasm would generate electricity 📈💡😁 I'm very glad that you have such fun in Poland
This comment made us smile!! Thank you very much friend!! :) we are loving Poland so much 🇵🇱
Jesteście bardzo sympatyczni, aż miło się oglada😃😃
We are so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you friend :)
Aż trudno w to uwierzyć że dwoje „rozpieszczonych” Amerykańców pokonało tą trasę na piechotę w środku zimy! Respekt!
This comment made us smile!! It was pretty hard haha!! But feels good to have completed it! Thanks for watching friend :)
I've been there as a child in summer time and the view was mouth dropping I'm glad you guys enjoyed it !:D
Widziałem filmik kobiety z Białorusi która w obie strony pokonała ten dystans pieszo w lato ale z 2 małymi dziewczynkami około 4-6 lat.
It's just an impression Americans often make on others as if things are much more simple to them. I work a lot with Americans and their work ethic is closer to the Polish one - we tend to overwork, OT during the day and on weekends and for us the effect is much more important than the way to get there. I was surprised by American resilience a bunch of times - enough to change my pop-culturally biased image of Americans.
I to bez kilku obozów aklimatyzacyjnych i bez profesjonalnego sprzętu alpinistycznego.
So beautiful!!! I am going there next week!! So excited !!
Have a wonderful time!! And make sure to give yourself plenty of time to hike! Cheers friend ❄️
Going to Morskie Oko but not to Czarny Staw? Also you should have eaten something in that building next to Morskie Oko.
We will have to check that out! Thanks for watching :)
Koniecznie musicie wrócić na morskie oko ale już w lato, nad morskim okiem jest też czarny staw którego warto odwiedzić, ale przed trzeba obejść jezioro dookoła.
That sounds great!! Thanks so much for the recommendation :)
Hi.
Normal horse live 25 to 30 years.
On road to Morskie Oko from 2012 to 2022, worked 1002 horses. Average horse working is 36 months on that Trail. After that horse is withdraw. 64% of 1002 horses ended their life after that. They are overworked.
Im glad that you didnt ride them. Nice work guys.
Thanks for this
Wow that is crazy. Thank you for the information!
Hehe, electric socks? I guessed that you were dressed a bit too thickly and that you would sweat before you get there. Tip: in winter, breathe through your nose, not your mouth, because your throat will get scratchy. The sea eye is most beautiful in summer and early autumn, and in winter when the sun is shining. But at least you got some oxygen. You probably won't see a bear in winter because they go to sleep.😄
Hahaha we were definitely sweating a lot 🥵 that is a great tip! We have been doing it since seeing this comment! Thanks friend :)
The waterfall that is half way to Morskie Oko is called Wodogrzmoty Mickiewicza ( The Thunder Waters of Mickiewicz) - because of the noise they make :)
That is so cool!! We loved getting to look at it. It is beautiful! And so loud haha!
Jenny loves snow way more than i do... and i am Polish :)
Anyways in Poland You have to dress up according to the weather condition.
I love winter too :P
As some famous cabaret artist said: "If it is cold, but if it isn't windy as well then, it is warm" Robert Górski :D
You are so right! Hahaha! I blame it on growing up in the desert, snow is a novelty for us! ❄️ thanks for watching friend!
@@JacobandJennyTravel Yes, I'd say with the physical effort you were putting in that was warming you up, a simple sweater would be enough for the way up! And a warm coat attached to your backpack for the way back down or in case you had to stand in one place for a long time (because, dunno, you foot hurt too much). Recently, I was trekking in the mountains (around 2-3 degrees Celsius), and I only had a T-shirt on. Well, a merino wool T-Shirt, but nevertheless... :)
Imagine now that I with my brother did 3x this distance in km walking by mountains in the beginning of this year. But anyway you are brave that you did this hike. Much respect for you.
Wow that is crazy!! And thank you friend :)
I lived in Niigata Japan , in winter , the snow is so thick up to my knees .
That is so cool!! So much snow ❄️ thanks for watching!
Wow guys - I would never do this during winter, I’m polish and I don’t have the courage, I hope you guys register while starting your journey to the mountains, I don’t know if you knew that the mountain watch always tell tourist to register and if you don’t come back within certain time they start looking for you . Every year there are cases of people missing . Just advise for next time .
That is so good to know. We were wondering if anyone would know we were hiking back in the dark. It was a bit of a rough trek hahah. But worth it! Thanks for the advice friend :)
There is no registration. This only applies to climbers.
@@mpingo91Not true. Always, when you leave a Mountain shelter you should tell where are you going and if you do not back on time rescue mission will take place. This is the main rule in mountains.
Eee is a frequently visited tourist trail - a longer walk. But if you are hiking in difficult conditions on more difficult trails, it is worth reporting it and having the GOPR or TOPR number in your phone.
@@mpingo91 literally that the first rule about going into the mountains, GOPR is talking about it every year as people just decide to go on their own.
Poland is beautiful , especially, when it snowing.
We totally agree!! It is gorgeous :) thanks for watching!
You're Welcome.
well you got a heck of a story to tell back home now :D good job you made it like champs , get well Jenny
That is soooo true!! It is a great story! And a great scar on my foot 😂 thanks for watching friend!

Hello! There is so many people saying stuff about horses being mistreated. I personally don't think that they are but I can't tell for sure. They work hard, no illusions about that, but is that a mistreating? Anyways, I am happy you liked it! Zakopane and Tatra mountains (both Polish and Slovakian) are one of my top zones I love to be at. You need to come back during summer - completly different fairy tale. Glad to see you safe and sound!
Pseudoobrońcy zwierząt myślą że koń to pudelek, który powinien siedzieć na kanapie, ale te konie od wieków są przyzwyczajone do wysiłku i one wręcz muszą pracować by być w kondycji, po za tym nie sobie ci obrońcy nie myślą że tym góralom zależy tylko na zarobku(to i owszem) ale o konie muszą dbać bo jeden taki to grube tysiące i gdy taki padnie to kilka tygodni pracy ma w plecy(a dudki to oni bardzo kochają) i nie pisze tego jako kompletny laik, gdy byłem mały(i trochę większy też na co mój nick wskazuje) to ojciec posiadał konie do pracy, ale zanim zaczęły pracę to chodził koło nich nawet 2-3 godziny i ci górale też to robią, koń na posiłek potrzebuje min. 1,5 godziny.
Tak ja tez widziałem te straszne zdjęcia leżących koni na szlaku do Morskiego Oka, ale czy konie są wieczne? czy każdy ma "końskie zdrowie"?- nie, to są organizmy żywe, które potrafią zachorować, dostać nagłej zapaści czy innych przypadłości... dosłownie TAK SAMO JAK LUDZIE! podejrzewam że z tej trasy znacznie więcej karawanem zwieziono osób niż koni od dziesiątek lat.
Pamiętajcie- nikt nie załaduje więcej ludzi by zarobić kilkanaście złotych więcej a w zamian stracić kilka tysięcy... i jeszcze mieć kłopoty.
Jest w tym logika o ktorej i ja pomyslalem. Pozdrawiam.
It is always so hard to tell! The horses did look healthy but we don’t know too much. We do need to come back in the summer! Thanks for your comment :)
Wow very impressed!! 5 miles in the snow!! 🙌🙌🙌
5 miles there and then 5 miles back!! I was truly dying 😂😂
Actually you should make a Kasprowy Wierch cable car, the view from there is so stunning!
We really wanted to do that but there was so many clouds we didn't think we would be able to see anything :( thanks for the recommendation!
@@JacobandJennyTravel so it's a plan for next travel to Zakopane 🫶
I love how honest you are about how far or hard things are. Like stairs and heating up on hikes and the water temperature .
This comment made us smile! Thank you for your encouraging words :)
Bravo! You are very nice People. Enjoy Poland and revisit us in the future.
We definitely will! We love Poland 🇵🇱 Thanks so much for watching :)
Well done guys! It looks like it was really hard for you but you soldered on. So glad you didn’t give up. Well done once again and respect.
It was a bit of a struggle 😅 thank you so much friend!!
Now you have a great story to tell and amazing memory😁
That is so true!! That’s what we kept telling ourselves 🙌🏼❄️
Bravo! Respekt❤
Thank you friend!!❤️
Well done 👏
National Park
Thanks so much :)
wow amazing weather and your journey!
It was amazing (and really hard haha) thanks for watching :)
Polacy was kochają. Liczba wyświetleń waszych filmów jest imponująca.
We love Poles too!!🙌🏼 thank you friend!
CO ? mow za siebie a nie .POLACY WAS KOCHAJA . czy Ty kochasz MOJA BABCIE ?
Fair play to ya for conquering Morskie Oko! If you want a more flat trek you should try Dolina Chochołowska or Dolina Kościeliska. These are valley trails in Tatry but still goergous views. Like most mountain trails in PL they are however fairly long, but you don't necessarily have to do the whole thing. The reason why Polish mountain trails are so long and hard compared to American ones is cause when they were established in the modern form around hundred years ago hiking was a niche hobby for dedicated, very fit people. But the views are worth the sweat. Tatra Mountains is my all time fave place in the world ❤ And I highly recommend also visiting in the summer, it's like a different world. But even more tourists though, it is soooo crowded 😅
That is great to know!! The Tatra Mountains are so gorgeous. We for sure want to come back some summer and see and do more! Thanks so much for your comment friend ♥️
Oh no! Jacob, do make sure that Jenny minds that foot, risk of infection while you two are always on the go and so dependent on your feet. It’s a bit cringe with the daily socks and boots and getting enough airflow and clean up around a cut. That aside, that walk was insane. Beautiful. But insane. Stay safe and thanks for taking us along!
The hike was definitely insane haha!! Thankfully my cut is healing much better after taking a day or two off from the boots!! Thanks so much for your concern friend!
What a beautiful scenery! You were lucky to have so much snow. Also, the route is slightly uphill, so it is challenging for some people, especially with the snow on it. Respect for your determination! This vlog was very entertaining, very beautiful and the best from Poland. 😍
It was definitely challenging for us with the heavy snow!! We are so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching friend :)
you must see the ski jump in Zakopane. One of the ski jumping in the World cup tournament.
That sounds amazing!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
I bet you dinner tasted a lot better on that day 😅 People say it's easy hike relatively to other hikes around, there is only one part that has steeper elevation and there is no exposed parts, although, this is still mountains and you did it in snow! Congrats! I think nothing beats the view on that lake on sunny summer day, it's so blue with humbling mountains behind it!
Hahaha it definitely did! We were so hungry after this! We need to come back in the summer and do it to see the lake :) thanks for watching!
There are literally signs near Morskie Oko "In the night it is dark" - that`s because there are a lot of people who go too late and try to go back after sunset :)
Hahaha wow!! It was definitely dark as we ran back. Thanks for watching :)
We promise with less snow on the ground it is an easy hike 😉 How cute you got to see elk! Your views were epic! I remember thinking when we were there, how can these views be real!? So glad you persevered!
Hahaha you guys are just ballers!!🙌🏼
Bravo!!!❤
Thanks friend :)
Pretty
It is gorgeous! Thanks for watching :)
We LOVE how much you love the snow!! Your excitement is contagious! We should invite you guys to Ottawa one winter to experience a cold and snowy Canadian experience. Skating, Winterlude, maple taffy on snow and skating on the canal!! Keep up the great work. Being canadians, we are escaping winter to warm, sunny destinations. You guys remind us how special and interesting snowy, winter destinations can be. We take it for granted.
The grass is always greener right?! But I do think there is something so magical about a winter Christmas!❄️ Ottawa looks amazing! Thanks for watching friends :)
Love the snow covered landscape 😂❤ you are working your way to a delicious meal!!
It is gorgeous!! We definitely earned our meal this day 🙌🏼
Bears are fast asleep this time of year. Stay safe.
That makes sense! Thanks for watching :)
Niedźwiedź brunatny w zimie śpi, jest naprawdę mała szansa na spotkanie miśka gdy panują takie warunki atmosferyczne.
That is very good haha! Thanks for watching :)
Next time you are there, you should try the cable car (aerial lift) to Kasprowy Wierch - there are some great views there and even better if you use it as a starting point for further trekking (like to Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy, Czerwone Wierchy or to Świnica (that last one is amazing, but honestly, you need more mountain experience to go there) - keep in mind I'm talking about summer trekking or slightly off-season, in winter it's all too difficult).
Keep in mind there is usually a huge line to buy tickets for the cable car during the season, so you can buy one online earlier (and gamble on the weather that day) or get there very early, but be prepared for a long wait anyway.
We really wanted to go there but it was so cloudy when we were there that we didn't think it would be worth it :( we will for sure have to go in the summer! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Wild! Looks enchanting. Reminds me of the story with the snow queen.
It was very enchanting!! That is so fun. Thanks for watching :)
Brawo!!!!!! ❤❤💫
Thank you friend ♥️
A very well done you Two! It is a bit of struggle on a regular summer day due to the distance but you made it in the winter conditions. Respect!🎉😅
It was for sure a struggle haha but we are glad we made it!! Thank you so much friend 🎉
Brave people! 😁
Thank you friend :)
a mówią ,że Amerykanie dalej jak 100 metrów bez samochodu się nie ruszają. 😂
Hahaha😂 proved them wrong 🙌🏼
You boty arę adorable 🥰
Thank you so much friend :)
You're crazy in Poland 😉😊😉😊 I love you 😊😉 I'm very happy that you like it so much in my homeland 😉😊🇵🇱♥️ greetings to you, my dears
Thank you so much friend!! We are so glad you like our videos ♥️
To jest dluga trasa. Nawet latem jest męcząca. Chyba ze 12 kilometrów...
It was extremely tiring haha!! And the snow did make it a lot harder 😅 thanks so much for watching!
Yep, it's really cool to be catch by night on trail. Luckily I was close enough to see shelter lights. Tatry are really awesome. West and east part (with caves)
It is so beautiful!! Thanks for watching :)
Great achievement ! Congrats! For sure in Jacob I see polish spirit to hiking ! :D
Thank you friend!! Jacob is a great hiker!
Never go too late to the Mountains. It's dangerous. And always say at the hotel where you are heading to. Just in case.
Thank you for the great advice :)
❤️
Well done lovley jobli .
Thank you so much friend!!
I think the hike to Morskie Oko is pretty hard though it's a lot easier than many of the other trails because it has a paved road. Jenny, I have cried on hikes in Tatra mountains after people telling me it was going to be easy - Giewont is not easy. Sorry, it's just not. So good job for sticking it out! Not that you had any other choice 😂!
I'm glad you guys had the full local experience :) the horses are mostly for tourists ;)
I am so glad I am not the only one haha! I was not mentally prepared for it😂 It was definitely hard with all that snow! Thank you so much friend!! Cheers!
Well the hike to Morskie Oko (Eye of the See) is easy because you have a wide paved flat road all the way to the top:) no rocks to climb, but yes, its uphill and steep :) I envy you, I'm Polish but never went to Tatras in winter:) You are lucky too, because it is snowing in November ant at the beginning of December, it wasn't like this in other years.
We are so thankful we got so much snow!! It was amazing ❄️ And a little sad cause we barely got to see the mountains! Thanks so much for watching friend :)
That's so cool
It was definitely a struggle with with deep snow haha ❄️ and a sliced foot. That is good to know. And it definitely felt longer than what the signs were saying haha!! Thank you so much for watching and for all the great information :)
Hi, the animals you saw five minutes into the hikes are not elks - you saw either red deers or roe deers:)
That is good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Electric socks😅🤣🤣👍👋
They saved me 😂🙌🏼 hahaha!! Thanks for watching!!
@@JacobandJennyTravel great adventure😅👍👏🎄❄️
I don't think anyone uses them in Poland, but if you come from the desert, maybe it makes sense. We are used to it. I remember that when I was a child, I spent half a day in the cold and my shoes were not insulated, my toes got so cold that they were all red - what a pain. Then Mom put my feet in cold water and gradually added warm water - the effect was as if someone was sticking thousands of needles into me, the pain was incredible. Once the ice broke under me, but it was shallow, like a larger puddle, we were playing hockey and one foot fell into the water. Then I ran home, but it wasn't easy because my tracksuit froze and turned into a crust, but the winters in my childhood were much colder. Winters were -16 to -23 degrees Celsius, now it is much warmer.
@@jerzy7118 I remember winters -20 and no heating in the eighties. Schools were closed so I was very happy 😂
"Supposedly" stereotypical Americans are "privileged", always use a car and never walk. In my eyes, you have broken this stereotype. You are like mighty beasts. As a Pole, I have never gone to see "Morskie Oko" in winter, and you managed it. Full bows and respect from me. I wish you a happy stay in my country. If you have time, visit my beloved mountain town - Krynica-Zdrój. It's really beautiful, ESPECIALLY Jaworzyna and town center.
Wow this comment made us smile! It was a bit challenging but we are glad we did it. Thank you for your encouraging words!! Cheers friend :)
I think you'll have an appetite after all this.😀
We ate a lot after this 😂😂 you are so right! Haha! Thanks for watching!
@@JacobandJennyTravel In Poland, whenever you get lost or need help in the mountains, you can always call the emergency number and you will receive help. It's a good idea to buy insurance for this.
You would not like to be there during a real snow storm. Will you try a cable car to Kasprowy Wierch? Also there is a very beautiful valley Strążyska - short walk, gorgeous view and tasty apple pie and mulled wine❤
We were going to but there is so many clouds I don’t think it would be worth it :(
That sounds delicious!! Thank you so much for watching :)
I bet that you are now meeega hungry :D good job :)
We ate so much that night hahah!! Thanks for watching :)
respect😁
Thank you friend :)
On the weekend trip that I engaged to my current wife we made the mistake of going up the mountain already later in the afternoon like 14:30 - 15:00. We got there a good hour late in the first place because of traffic, more time getting settled into the hotel than we thought etc. Anyway the sun was already setting when we were 10 minutes into the hike down and it was an hour walk back. We used glowsticks and cellphones to light our way down for the last half an hour, keeping the light source close to the ground, to watch out for sharp rocks etc. while swallowed by pitch black darkness. I actually chose this place, because it's one of the "Dark sky" spots for stargazing in Poland, mostly free of light pollution - sadly though it was pretty cloudy, so we didn't see any stars. Anyway the trails was at least well marked, like most trails in Poland are. Stil it was one of the more intense hikes i've had in in my life :D. I could've sworn I heard a bear roar somewhere in the distance too. It was in Beskid Żywiecki, twice the smaller mountains than Tatra, but mountains nonetheless.
Wow that sounds like a crazy experience!! The hike was definitely hard for us too! I’m glad we all made it out haha!! Thanks for watching :)
Haha, good job! :)
Thank you friend :)
Oh you crazy kids! Poles having poles? Imagine that!
Hahaha Poles having poles😂😂 thanks for watching friend!
Go to śnieżka and try to climb it with wim hoffers xd
Thanks for the recommendation friend :)
well done u 2
Thank you friend :)
Impressive, thats not an easy hike in such a snow.
It was definitely a big struggle hahah! Thanks for watching friend :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel cheers:) glad you are having fun in Poland
4:42 No, it's not uphill, it's really FLAT. :) I traverse this trail in just over an hour, and then still climb the surrounding peaks for, say, 8 - 10 hours. Of course, I return along the same road. Without even noticing it.
But I generally walk more in life than drive. And I recommend it to everyone. BTW my friend also paid in blood. As we descended from the highest peak in Poland (Rysy, you may have seen it in the distance on the left side of the lake) she had to stop every now and then and bandage her feet. Good shoes are a must.
Wow you must be in great shape haha!! I think the heavy snow made it harder for us, since we are not use to walking in the snow at all! Thanks for watching :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel The most important thing is motivation. I wrote my comment in the middle of the video and then you said that you traveled the way back twice as fast after dark. :)
Speaking of motivation: don't be so afraid of the bears. I've been hiking in these mountains for several years and I've never met a bear yet. And very often I come back at night...
@@JacobandJennyTravel
It is uphill, why the lie? I walked the trail and it is slightly uphill, which makes it harder to walk for amateurs.
@@saga2828 OK. Then sit on your butt at the hut and soon, without doing anything, you'll go down to the parking lot in Palenica.
morskie oko
wow that was a nice trip guys , when it was the last bus at what time ?
Thank you!! I believe around 5pm!
The bears are sleeping during the winter.Come back in summer to meet them;)
Hahah we just might 😉🐻
We visited Morskie Oko last July. The weather was beautiful and the views were stunning. We asked about the treatment of the horses and we were told they are NOT mistreated. They go only once or twice a day with plenty of rest and breaks and only a certain number of people so the weight is limited. Rummers of their mistreatment were started by people who wanted to replace them with electric shuttle bus which do not suite the atmosphere of the Tatra Mountains. We definitely recommend taking the horses at least on the way up to Morskie Oko. Cash is needed to pay for the horse rides. Last July the price was 90 zloty.
"we were told", "only a certain number of people" ? 12-15 people + carriage for 2 horses uphill? Use your brain! P.S. These sleighs on snow, not asphalt, seem ok.
That is great to know!! Thank you so much for the information :)
10/10 guys....;-)
Thank you so much friend :)
Nobody told you that bears hibernate and are gone during the winter... unless the winter is very warm🤔😃
Hahaha yes we kind of figured that but weren’t 100% sure! Thanks for watching :)
10:33 This longer route is an asphalt road (for horses) with a lot of turns. In summer, people choose the shorter and steeper one, because it is difficult to walk on asphalt in the summer. Good thing you didn't choose horses. In the summer, at thirty degrees Celsius, they go up and down with carts full of tourists - there is a difference between 10 people weighing 35-50 kg and 10 people weighing 70-130 kg - unfortunately, the owners of these horses do not care how many kilograms the horses are carrying, but how many people they can fit in. on the cart
That is good to know. It is sad for the horses if they have to pull so many people. Thank you for the information :)
Hi guys. Don't be angry, but I think this movie should have some kind of warning at the very beginning or in the title - not just a short message at the end of the vlog.
Never, never go to the mountains late if you do not have experience or a guide. Especially in winter. It's not about bears. The key thing is that you can then get lost and have no way to call for help. Don't go to the mountains without the application on your phone or without familiarizing yourself with the assistance options.
You also didn't have the right clothes. If you know the route, you can turn a blind eye to it. Maybe it's a great adventure for you, but it's just very irresponsible and don't let anyone think it's ok. It's not the same as walking around the city center - it requires preparation. No view is worth risking your health. I know you travel a lot, but many non-European are not used to longer hike. They are often surprised that everyone use their legs and buses not cars - even in the city centre. The fact that it is an easy trek for people from the south of Poland does not mean that it will be easy for visitors. Remember this and take care of yourself!
We totally get what you are saying! :) Thank you for your comment!
Jenny bears hibernate at this time. In Copenhagen there is a park where you can see deer and stags.
In Poland you can see such animals in the villages and in the towns, too!
Right🐻 that is so cool! We need to go there! Thanks for watching :)
There are more places with views like this in Poland. Trust me. And you must come back there in summer, the view is even better!
We definitely need to!! Thanks for watching :)
Czekam aż któryś Polak zaprosi was na wigilię pokazać Polskie święta ❤ ✌️
That would be so amazing 🎄 thanks for watching friend!
its easy hike:)
Haha! Thanks for watching :)
I'm from Zakopane. I wisit Morskie Oko once a year approx.. It's fun to ewatch you.. Keep it going..
It’s an incredible place!! How cool you live in Zakopane, what an amazing place to live 🇵🇱
What did you eat there?
We didn’t eat anything there haha😅
If these horses were treated badly, these people would have no way to earn a living. Therefore, they must take great care of these horses, because they provide for the family. The owner cannot afford to lose the horse or have it get sick. They have something to eat, as you can see. They are covered from snow.
They weren't moose. Moose are even larger and live more in swamps. It was a deer: male - bull and female - hind.
The owner can afford to lose a horse and that is sometimes the case unfortunately. Some of the horses are mistreated and there are even groups on social media about it, showing photos.
Your argument is not valid. If the owner makes quick money by overloading the horses, he can afford to "lose" them, selling them to the slaughterhouse. Disgusting "dutki"culture. Of course not only in the mountains.
They are. I've been there and I've seen it. Just two horses had to carry a long wagon which could load up to 20-25 people. And whole trip to Morskie Oko is going up all the time. I felt really bad for those horses. It was sad. I love Morskie Oko, but because of those poor horses I never came back there yet. On this video you can see two horses pulling a wee cart for just 2-3 people so maybe that changed since I've been there.
That is a good point!! And that’s good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Where did the glass come from?
It was in our Airbnb! I dropped a bowl so it was totally my fault! 🫠 just made hiking a little more challenging!🥲
👍
🙌🏼🇵🇱
I hope you didn't stop at 6 Kościuszko Street...
I don’t think we did hahaha
it was my first hike… when I was 4 years old😉 and no horses, because the carriages are driven by fat people who only eat sausages
Hahaha!! You were a strong 4 year old 😉 the horses seem like a decent option! We were a little sad we didn’t get to take them down!
@@JacobandJennyTravel it was spring when I went for the first time and we left the hotel at 6 am, I ate sandwiches with baked chicken and mayonnaise for breakfast along the way

Mistreat horses is past stuff. 15-10 years ago there was big action against it.
Now everything change on good. It is safe for horses now.
