What to expect

This visit offers a unique glimpse into the life of local shepherds.

Next, embark on an exhilarating rafting trip down the Dunajec River on traditional wooden rafts. Marvel at the stunning views of the Pieniny National Park, including the peaks of the Three Crowns and Sokolica, while experienced raftsmen share fascinating stories about the region's history and legends.

After rafting, you'll head to the spa area to taste the renowned healing waters of Szczawnica. Rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, these waters are celebrated for their health benefits, perfect for relaxation and revitalization.

Your journey continues with a chairlift ride to the top of Palenica Mountain, reaching 722 meters above sea level. Enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Pieniny Mountains, Beskid Sądecki, and the Dunajec Valley. At the summit, there's a restaurant where you can enjoy a drink (at your own expense) while soaking in the beautiful scenery.

Finally, visit the main square, the vibrant heart of Szczawnica. This bustling center is home to numerous restaurants, pastry shops, and souvenir stalls. Stroll through the square during some spare time, sample local delicacies, buy handmade souvenirs, and enjoy the charming atmosphere of this picturesque spa town.
