Morskie Oko Poland ポストカード

Hidden deep within the Tatra National Park, Morskie Oko—or 'Eye of the Sea'—is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Cradled by the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the High Tatras, the lake's emerald waters change hue with the light, reflecting the surrounding granite walls of the Mięguszowiecki summits. Legend once held that the lake was connected to the sea via an underground tunnel. Today, it is a sanctuary for nature lovers and hikers, reached by a scenic forest trail. The historic wooden mountain chalet perched on its edge provides a cozy vantage point for viewing the 'Monk' peak as it rises sharply into the clouds.
