Zakopane

File:Zakopane....jpg

The earliest documents mentioning Zakopane date to the 17th century, describing a glade called Zakopisko. In 1676, it was a village of 43 inhabitants. In 1818, Zakopane was a small town that was still being developed. There were only 340 homes that held 445 families. The population of Zakopane at that time was 1,805: 934 women and 871 men.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sztetl.org.pl/en/article/zakopane/3,local-history/#footnote_2|title=Local history - Information about the town - Zakopane - Virtual Shtetl|website=www.sztetl.org.pl|language=pl|access-date=2017-05-04}} The first church was built in 1847, by Józef Stolarczyk.

Zakopane became a center for the region's mining and metallurgy industries; by the 19th century, it was the largest center for metallurgy in the region of Galicia. It expanded during the 19th century as the climate attracted more inhabitants. By 1889, it had developed from a small village into a climatic health resort. Rail services to Zakopane began on October 1, 1899. In the late 1800s, Zakopane constructed a road that went to the town of Nowy Targ and had railways that came from Chabówka. Because of easier transportation, the population of Zakopane had increased to about 3,000 people by the end of the 1800s. In the 19th century, Krupówki Street was just a narrow beaten path that was meant for people to get from the central part of town to the village of Kuźnice.

The ski jump on Wielka Krokiew was opened in 1925.

The cable car to Kasprowy Wierch was completed in 1936.

The funicular connected Zakopane and the top of Gubałówka in 1938.

Because of Zakopane's popular ski mountains, the town gained popularity which made the number of tourists increase to about 60,000 people by 1930.

During the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was invaded by Germany, and the Einsatzgruppe I entered the town on September 4, 1939, to commit various crimes against Poles.{{cite book|last=Wardzyńska|first=Maria|year=2009|title=Był rok 1939.

Intelligenzaktion|language=pl|location=Warszawa|publisher=IPN|page=58}} In March 1940, representatives of the Soviet NKVD and the Nazi Gestapo met for one week in Zakopane's Villa Tadeusz, to coordinate the pacification of resistance in Poland. Throughout World War II, Zakopane served as an underground staging point between Poland and Hungary.{{Cite web |title=Local history {{!}} Virtual Shtetl |url=https://sztetl.org.pl/en/towns/z/662-zakopane/96-local-history/68095-local-history |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=sztetl.org.pl}}

From 1942 to 1943, 1,000 prisoners from the German Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp were set to work in a stone quarry.{{cite web|url=http://www.sztetl.org.pl/pl/article/zakopane/13,miejsca-martyrologii/21317,zakopane-oboz-pracy-przymusowej-na-terenie-kamieniolomow/|title=Zakopane|work=sztetl.org.pl}} In 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans deported thousands of Varsovians from the Dulag 121 camp in Pruszków, where they were initially imprisoned, to Zakopane.{{cite web|url=http://dulag121.pl/encyklopediaa/transporty-z-obozu-dulag-121/|title=Transporty z obozu Dulag 121|website=Muzeum Dulag 121|accessdate=6 September 2021|language=pl}} Those Poles were mainly old people, ill people and women with children. In mid-October 1944, there were 3,800 registered Poles, who were expelled from Warsaw, and probably another 3,800 unregistered expellees. In January 1945, the Germans retreated from Zakopane and the German occupation ended.

Immediately after the war, a children's Home for Holocaust Survivors was established in Zakopane.[https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/childrens-survivors-homes/zakopane.asp The Children's Home in Zakopane, Poland: Lena Küchler's Children], Yad Vashem website

Zakopane has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfb),{{cite journal|last1=Kottek|first1=Markus|last2=Grieser|first2=Jürgen|last3=Beck|first3=Christoph|last4=Rudolf|first4=Bruno |last5=Rubel|first5=Franz|title=World Map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification updated|journal=Meteorologische Zeitschrift|date=2006|volume=15|issue=3|pages=259–263|doi=10.1127/0941-2948/2006/0130|bibcode=2006MetZe..15..259K|url=https://opus.bibliothek.uni-augsburg.de/opus4/files/40083/metz_Vol_15_No_3_p259-263_World_Map_of_the_Koppen_Geiger_climate_classification_updated_55034.pdf}}{{cite journal |author1=Peel, M.

In general, the temperature tends to fall with altitude, therefore Zakopane is almost {{Convert|3|C-change|F-change|abbr=on}} colder than northern Kraków, which is more than {{Convert|600|m|ft|abbr=on}} lower than Zakopane. With higher altitudes, the climate gets even colder, therefore, on the top of Kasprowy Wierch ({{Convert|1987|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level), the climate is tundra-like (Köppen: ET). The tree line is located at about {{cvt|1500|m|ft}} above sea level in the Tatra Mountains.

Winters are typically frosty but are relatively sunny for Poland - in fact, Zakopane receives among the most sun in winter in the country.{{Cite web|title=Atlas warunków solarnych - Portal Klimat IMGW-PiB|url=https://klimat.imgw.pl/pl/solar-atlas/#dni/Seasonal/2014/02/02/Multiyear_seasonal_mean/|access-date=2022-02-13|website=klimat.imgw.pl}} Snow is normally abundant, particularly in the higher altitudes, which makes Zakopane among the most popular ski resorts in Poland. Summers are cool to warm but rarely get hot.

The defining feature of the local climate is the location on the northern slope of the Tatra mountains. Zakopane receives significantly more precipitation than cities on the lowlands to the north of the Carpathians, and just like in the mountains in general, there might be sudden weather changes from sunny to rainy, and vice versa. Occasionally, a very warm foehn wind locally known as halny may dramatically increase the temperatures, sometimes beyond {{Convert|10|C|F|abbr=on}} in winter.

Extreme temperatures range from {{convert|−34.1|°C|1}} on February 1, 1956 up to {{convert|32.8|°C|1}} on August 8, 2013;{{Cite web|url=https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=2013-08-31&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|title=Historyczne dane pomiarowe|language=pl|date=2023-05-04|website=meteomodel.pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230504083524/https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=2013-08-31&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|archive-date=2023-05-04}}{{Cite web|url=https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=1956-02-29&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|title=Historyczne dane pomiarowe|language=pl|date=2023-05-04|website=meteomodel.pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230504083951/https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=1956-02-29&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|archive-date=2023-05-04}} the record cold daily maximum is {{convert|−19.6|°C|1}}, set on February 1, 1956,{{Cite web|url=https://meteomodel.pl/dane/srednie-miesieczne/?imgwid=349190625&par=mintmax&max_empty=3|title=Średnie i sumy miesięczne|language=pl|date=2023-05-04|website=meteomodel.pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230504085112/https://meteomodel.pl/dane/srednie-miesieczne/?imgwid=349190625&par=mintmax&max_empty=3|archive-date=2023-05-04}} while, conversely, the record warm daily minimum is {{convert|23.4|°C|1}} on August 29, 1992.{{Cite web|url=https://meteomodel.pl/dane/srednie-miesieczne/?imgwid=349190625&par=maxtmin&max_empty=3|title=Średnie i sumy miesięczne|language=pl|date=2023-05-04|website=meteomodel.pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230504092324/https://meteomodel.pl/dane/srednie-miesieczne/?imgwid=349190625&par=maxtmin&max_empty=3|archive-date=2023-05-04}}{{Cite web|url=https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=1992-08-31&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|title=Historyczne dane pomiarowe|language=pl|date=2023-05-04|website=meteomodel.pl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230504085829/https://meteomodel.pl/dane/historyczne-dane-pomiarowe/?data=1992-08-31&rodzaj=st&imgwid=349190625&dni=60&ord=desc|archive-date=2023-05-04}}

In the winter, thousands arrive in Zakopane to ski, especially around Christmas and in February. The most popular skiing areas are Kasprowy Wierch and Gubałówka.{{cite web|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/traveloutdoors/2002822417_poland26.html|title=Seattle Times - Scenic Zakopane|access-date=10 April 2019}} There are a number of cross country skiing trails in the forests surrounding the town.
