Tourists had been waiting for this moment for months. The buses will return in May

Buses to Morskie Oko are back on the route after a long winter break. The first passengers will board the vehicles on the May weekend, but the number of available trips will be limited. “The service is not a mass transport. It was designed primarily to increase the accessibility of the Tatra Mountains for people with disabilities, seniors and families with small children,” explains the Tatra National Park.

New season of buses to Morskie Oko

The break in the operation of electric buses to Morskie Oko is coming to an end. For now, four vehicles will be available on the May Day route. Tourists hoping for an easy alternative to hiking may be disappointed. The “attraction” on the Zakopane – Morskie Oko – Zakopane route will be available to selected people who need such facilities the most. – “The service complements existing forms of transport and is an element of activities aimed at reducing pressure on the environment – in previous years, an average of 425 permits were issued annually for cars with disabled people commuting to Morskie Oko,” informs the Tatra National Park.

Buses from Zakopane to Włosienica for everyone

The above-mentioned people with disabilities, as well as their guardians, will benefit from free electric rides. The bus will go right to the PTTK shelter by the lake. “It is required to present a disability certificate or a disabled person’s ID card together with an identity document” – reminds Gazeta Krakowska.

However, tourists can take paid trips to Włosienica and Palenica Białczańska. The price for a one-way trip from Zakopane (upwards) is PLN 89. The return price is PLN 11 lower. The number of courses and places is limited – it is worth remembering this, especially when returning from the trail.
