In southern Poland, the terrain is generally hilly and as you approach Zakopane you're confronted by the Tatra mountain range. This is the land of the Highlander or Gorale, former shepherds.

Nowadays, tourism is more profitable than keeping sheep, although you can still find plenty of sheepskin products for sale such as coats, rugs, fur-lined boots, hats and gloves to cushion covers.
