Outside of the ski season Zakopane is a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers, with a number of great climbs beginning at the Morskie Oko and Czarny Staw lakes, and ascending Rysy, the highest peak in Poland. Other popular climbing routes ascend the peaks of Mieguszowiecki Szczyt, Glewont, Mnich and Cubryna. Most of the area's attractions are natural, but the town is known for its charming traditional atmosphere and there are many folk dancing performances and cultural events held to entertain tourists. There are a handful of museums and galleries in town and there is a water park and a Teddy Bear Museum to amuse young children.
