Description
Travel from Krakow to the Dunajec River Gorge and Tatra Mountains, among the most scenic areas in southern Poland. The gorge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its impressive natural beauty.
Rafting on wooden rafts dates back to the early 19th century, originally serving visitors of Niedzica and Czorsztyn castles. Your trip starts in Sromowce Wyżne-Kąty village and follows the river 18 kilometers downstream to the resort town of Szczawnica.
After rafting, enjoy a restaurant lunch to recharge. The tour then continues to the Bachledova Valley in Slovakia, where you will walk the 1234-meter-long Bachledka Treetop Trail. Situated up to 24 meters above the ground, the trail includes a 32-meter high observation tower surrounded by the Pieniny National Park’s forested landscape.
This trail offers insight into the unique flora and fauna of the Belianske Tatras, including species found only in very few locations worldwide.
