You guys are just so wonderful. I love the way you explain everything and the way you joke with one another. I am a Polish American. Both of my parents are from Poland. And I have not been to Poland yet. But listening to you guys explain and talk about the different parts that you’ve been visiting. Has me excited on visiting Paul in one day. And I am blind so listening to you and you explaining certain things definitely helps me picture certain things. So I can’t wait to have a tour guide go with us and help us see things a little bit differently and be detailed. I look forward to it because I love Polish food and I love my Polish heritage. I also speak Polish as well so I look forward to speaking a lot in Polish. And visiting my family. Thank you guys for putting this video together
Agata: I have been to Poland 3 times and my best trip was in 1980, before it joined the West, and it was the best of the 3 trips although a little more rugged/less economy " BUT"so much fun and believe it or not more freedom then regulated Polska today . The last time about 10 years ago, I was noticing very few differences from German visits. My advice is visit Poland now before it is just another disneyland stop in Europe.
I was in Zakopane in January 1991 shortly after Poland was free again. I remember Zakopane very differently. Such a beautiful place. I was very sick and a lady who worked at the hotel decided to take care of me even though she didn’t speak much English and I spoke very minimal Polish. She kept making me eat bread with strong horseradish mustard and tea with rum, pretty sure it was a mountain home remedy but it did break my fever.
Thank you, Anna and Mark, you brought back all my memories from when my husband and I visited Zakopane in 2018. We had great food, great shopping, great sightseeing, and the view from the top of the mountain was stupendous. I can't wait to go back.
Hello! It was so nice to see this video! My grandmother was born in Poland and came to the U.S. around 1925, when she was in her teens. One of my treasured possessions I have from her is a small, hand carved wooden box, with “Zakopane” carved into it. As long as I can remember, she used it to keep her sewing supplies in it, needles thread, scissors , thimble, and some spare buttons, and now it is my sewing box too. Perhaps it belonged to her mother, and was handed down. It was a delight to see the beautiful area where this sweet little box originated. By the way, Mark, since my grandparents settled in Chicago, we spent many vacations in Wisconsin. I certainly preferred the trips to the Dells, rather than those boring fishing vacations in Hayward or Cable. Mosquitoes were awful, lol! Thanks again for sharing your adventure! Love your channel!
Great video. We watched your video from Krakow Christmas Market before this one as we are going there in December. Now we plan to visit Zakopane as well. Best wishes from Scotland.
hey! I met my wife while in the army. She's from around Zakopane. Glad to see you guys enjoying southern Poland. Oscypek might be my favorite cheese ever.
Looks like a very beautiful place to visit. I hope to go sometime in the near future. Love your videos and the information of these destinations you pass on to us. Thank you.
You both are wonderful in explaining this trip you are taking us on . I would love to visit some time but I’m sure I would never see all that you have taken us on. This was so good I felt as if I was on a tour with you. Thanks I love everything
Thank you for making this video, you guys are a fantastic fun couple to watch, I think my last travel will be to go to Zakopane I will try to convince my daughter we are skiers/snowboarders living the mountains in Canada, I left Poland when I was 10, I’m 70 now and it Xmas 2023 i never watched my mother making polish food & I decided to make my first try at pierogi watching your video, thanks for mixing cooking with travel,well done
Zakopane looks lovely. I've never been but I certainly will visit. It would be very interesting to see it in summer too. I'm from a family of lumberjacks from near to Krynica. Also a good place to visit. My family had a saw mill a few kilometres outside Krynica. Its still there but no longer owned by the family.
OMG GREAT VIDEO..... funny thing, when up on the mountain during white out, and you said insert pics, TH-cam went to ADVERT of the BAHAMAS.... LOL later when Mark saw the cat and said KOTEK... MAJOR FLASH BACK to my great aunt calling our cats ... loved this trip.....
I am so happy that I found your channel. A Pole and an American! That's me , I am a Polish American and proud of it. I love you two , such a great couple. Right now you are my favorite channel. Keep the videos coming ,Please
I like your videos a lot and I fund them very interesting 👍 the other day I watched the footage about Pasztecik restaurant and bcuz my wife is from Szczecin she told me that when she was a medical university student they use to go there for paszteciki and barszcz 😎
Just got back from there , we were probably eating at the same places. Tricky getting back as the snow was blocking all travel routes. The Kulig experience is good , and of course the mountain tops.
Very interesting to see Zakopane because that is the region my grandma came from back in the early 1900s. Poland continues to surprise me with how modern it is and how many people speak English. My parents were both born here but my grandparents grew up in Poland and immigrated to the USA in the early 1900s. They did go back to live with some of their kids back in the 1920s but came back to America to live.
I so loved your trip! I told my husband that we must visit a place of my Polish and my German ancestry? Lol, I so love Mark’s Wisconsin influence…. Lol , I have more Polish and German family in Mi…. But I’m close to Wi… and visit Wi often. I live in burbs west, of Chicago…. This was so fun. ❤✌🏼
Hey y’all. I’ve been watching since I discovered Polish food in Przemysl last March (I went to help WCK feed refugees). Hadga is a really good teacher and I’ve learned a lot. I love the casual, comfortable conversational style. Zurek blew my mind in Poland. I had it the first time at my airport hotel in Warsaw then ate it everywhere I went including Krakow and several spots in Przemysl. When I got back I looked it up on TH-cam and yours was the first one that popped up. I just wanted to say how grateful I am. I’m currently in Ukraine working in The Magic Food Army with Chef Zhenya. Gonna make some cabbage rolls for our boys and love your recipe - using stock to braise and doing the red sauce at the end makes much more flavorful rolls.👨🍳🇺🇦❤️
Very nice souvenir shop and probably a good thing about these souvenirs is that they are made locally (not made in China like many others) which makes them more authentic.
It looked like you had a great time. If I were ever able to go I'd love to take the sleigh ride and try snowmobiling. The food all looked delicious and I'm gonna look at that sauerkraut soup recipe. I love sauerkraut and grew up eating it as a side dish to many meals. Thanks for taking us along. You are so cute and silly with each other which has to be one of the traits of a successful relationship. Be well. 😊🌻❤️
Anna & Mark, the last time I was in Poland I was 17 , long time ago...but I loved visiting Zakopane...I wish I could be there now...my husband lived in Poland but never went there..now he said that its on his bucket list..love your video
We were in Zakopane in May, 2013. I remember lakes way up in the mountains, and it was still cold at the top of the gondola! There is a luge/flume ride in the summer that looked like fun. I also remember a small church that was away from the crowds. The wool market was crowded even though there weren't too many tourists yet. I was not impressed with the cheese - very beautiful, but not much flavor. Nice video!
I love this! I was born in Gdansk and I live in California now. I miss Poland and hope to return some day…thank you for sharing your recipes! I love them!
Absolutely beautiful, personally, I love the snow. I was today's year old when I learned to not watch you guys eating, when I'm hungry. 😂🤣😂🤔❤️ Boy, the food looked soooo good🤗 Love watching both of you exploring beautiful areas. Looking forward to more cooking b& exploring with both of you.
Hello! Thanks for all your videos!! & I’m a Super-Fan of your recipes; especially sauerkraut w/ ham shanks! I watched a Zakopane video today that featured a cheese, bacon, & dumplings soup. Do you know what it is, and, can you please show us how to make it ??! Thx! DS, Carlisle PA, USA.
Lol I am half polish, live I Chicago area, and have yet to go to Poland…. I must say I noticed Matt’s warm cap, and the shop clerk had the same….. haha I want one to wear here…. In the “Windy City”….. haha I’ve never seen it here…. Only see Packers, of course Bears, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox, and U of I caps….. I wear a cap from our local HS, but my youngest, my son will graduate soon, and I plan to pass down loads of school attire to my much younger brother in law and his family, that live here also….
Your gondola ride brought back memories from my ride in the Swiss Alps! I was not a fan...I clung to the middle pole and gave my camera to my boss to take pictures!
Have you ever made a soup using green beans, bacon, floor, and vinegar. My Mother made this and I'm sorry I never got the recipe. She used the White Vinegar to make it just a little sour to taste. Great Polish soup dish served hot . Would you know the name for this soup and have a recipe for this.......Dziękuję !

Kolejny święty film z PYK! Zakopane to mój wymarzony kierunek. Someday, Someway! Mam jednak pytanie - Czy trudno jest przekroczyć granicę że Słowacją strona Tatr? paszport,wizy,teren? I'm practicing my Polish...I don't think I made any errors. Love you guys..Peace!
❤️ przejścia nie ma… zielona granica 😉. Jesteśmy w Europie. Goście z poza Europy też mogą się poruszać, tylko trzeba mieć paszport przy sobie, w razie kontroli. Nic prostszego. Zapraszamy!
Hi guys haven't been keeping up with the vids. Just a note hope you both are well. All good here in Aus. Family from Wisconsin due here in early Aug for a 'reunion ' Best to you Mark Dombrowski
I’m flying from USA to Poland this year after 17 years since the last time and I’m planning to visit Zakopane so this was very helpful. Thank you.

Zakopane looks lovely. I've never been but I certainly will visit. It would be very interesting to see it in summer too.
I'm from a family of lumberjacks from near to Krynica. Also a good place to visit. My family had a saw mill a few kilometres outside Krynica. Its still there but no longer owned by the family.
Nice show be sure to show more food. I was ready to see the potato pancakes and goulash and then your on your way out
Sending Blessings to both of you for health, happiness and harmony. And also a nice dose of peace and prosperity.

Just got back from there , we were probably eating at the same places. Tricky getting back as the snow was blocking all travel routes. The Kulig experience is good , and of course the mountain tops.
Glorious! I am having trouble keeping my eyes off your beautiful hats, though.

Looks so beautiful.
Excellent!!!…Thank you
Thank you too!
Thank you - I enjoyed that so much! Two of my grandparents came from a nearby town (Maniowy) and I always think it must be similar to Zakopane!
Very Beautiful!! Ty for sharing!!❤❤
A cooking channel and a love story, very nice.
I so loved your trip! I told my husband that we must visit a place of my Polish and my German ancestry? Lol, I so love Mark’s Wisconsin influence…. Lol , I have more Polish and German family in Mi…. But I’m close to Wi… and visit Wi often. I live in burbs west, of Chicago…. This was so fun. ❤✌🏼
