Podhale

The Podhale (literally "Mountain meadows") is Poland's most southern region, sometimes referred to as the "Polish highlands". The Podhale is located in the foothills of the Tatra range of the Carpathian mountains, and is characterized by a rich tradition of folklore that is much romanticized in the Polish patriotic imagination.

Among the region's attractions are the popular mountain resort of Zakopane and a lake known as "The Eye of the Sea," which local legend claims is connected to the Adriatic by subterranean passageways. Tarnów is the capital of the region.
