Pieniny

The Pieniny Mountains are an ideal place for relaxation in every season of the year. You can find here numerous mountain trails, bicycle routes, walking paths or cross-country skiing trails. It is worth skiing free from crowd slopes in Niedzica, Szczawnica, Kluszkowce, Krościenko or Jeziersko. From spring to autumn you can enjoy Poland’s greatest attractions – the world-famous Dunajec Rafting during which you can admire the most beautiful parts of the Pieniński National Park. It is also a must to climb Mount Trzy Korony (982 meters above sea level), Mount Sokolica (747 meters above sea level), Mount Wysoka (1050 meters above sea level), as well as to walk along the Szopczański Ravine and Homole Ravine. It is here in the Pieniny Mountains region where you can find such attractions as the Niedzica Castle, Dunajec River Dam, Czorsztyn Castle, the Red Monastery, UNESCO-listed Church in Dębno Podhalańskie, Church in Grywałd, Pienińskie Museum in Szczawnica and Orthodox Church in Jaworki.
