While in the Pieniny Mountains, it's worth finding some time for quiet contemplation. Rafting down the Dunajec River to Szczawnica or Krościenko is perfect for this, allowing participants to admire the beauty of the local nature. This activity is available from early April to late October, so it's worth planning your stay in the mountains during this period. However, it's important to note that rafts don't sail on the river on Easter and Corpus Christi. On other days, however, you can freely enjoy this unique activity, which is appreciated by both children and adults.

Where does the Dunajec River rafting trip start and how long does it take?
When deciding to go rafting on the Dunajec River to Szczawnica or to Krościenko, you can choose two starting stations.
Rafting on the Dunajec River - Sromowce Wyżne station.
If the group decides to sail from this location, the route will take approximately two hours and fifteen minutes to Szczawnica, and half an hour longer to Krościenko.
Rafting on the Dunajec River - Sromowce Niżne station.
Starting here, tourists can expect to spend either one hour and thirty-five minutes or two hours and five minutes on the water. We recommend choosing the length of the route based on the age and abilities of the participants. For parents with small children, the shortest option is usually sufficient, as during this time, the little ones can focus on the beauty of the surrounding nature and admire it together with their guardians. They also enjoy listening to the rafters' stories. After a leisurely rafting trip down the Dunajec River, it's worth planning a visit to Szczawnica or a fun adventure at the ropes course in Krościenko, providing the children with more exuberant activities.
