Slovakia Treetop Walk, Zakopane and Thermal Baths from Krakow

About This Experience

This full day packs three stops into one loop. After hotel pickup in Krakow you drive about two and a half hours to Bachledova dolina in Slovakia for the Bachledka treetop walk, then cross back into Poland for Zakopane and finish in the thermal pools at Chochołów before the drive home. Allow about 12 hours.

The treetop walk is 1,234 m long, runs up to 24 m above the ground and leads to a 32 m observation tower. It sits on the Spišská Magura ridge at the edge of the Pieniny and Tatra national parks, with views toward the Belianske Tatras on a clear day. You have about two hours there.

In Zakopane you get about two hours to buy lunch and walk Krupówki, the town's main pedestrian street. Lunch is not included. The last stop is about two and a half hours at the Chochołów thermal baths, with admission fees covered by the tour.

Bring a passport or ID card, since the route crosses into Slovakia, and dress for mountain weather. Chochołowskie Termy is closed for works from 19 to 30 October 2026, so check which baths your date uses. The tour is rated 4.7 from 110 GetYourGuide reviews, and guests often say the day feels full, with some wanting more time at one stop or another.
