Poland Dolina Chocholowska (Chocholowska valley)
This is a very delicate spot.
The valley itself is accessible the whole year round, however, crocus season is very short and you have only couple of weeks (if not a single week) to catch it. Normally, it happens in the beginning of April, but we recommend monitoring recent pictures by Instagram geotag "Dolina chocholowska" to see, if the flowers are already/still there.

Travel Information
Parking (49.28305, 19.84256).
Since the season is extremely short and the views are extremely beautiful, it is thousands of people on this route.
The given coordinates belong to the nearest parking, which goes overflooded by ~7 am during weekends. We arrived there by 7 am on Sunday and had to walk from our parking to the entrance for about 10 min. Parking will cost ~5 EUR and there will be paid admission (don't recall particular cost, but it wasn't more, than another 3 EUR per person). Once your waiting in line to the cash desk is over, you will need to make an easy-to-medium hike towards the valley (approx. 2 hours). There will be a lot of people going the same way, also the place will be easily recognizable by the carpet of wonderful flowers, so no particular directions required =)
