Krościenko is also the terminus of the Dunajec Gorge rafting trip. It is one of the few places in the world where awhite water river runs through the mountainsas dramatically as this one does. According to legend, it wasn't the Dunajec River that sliced its way through the Pieniny Mountains, but Bolesław Chrobry, who used his sword to hack through the mountain landscape.... On the other hand, the mineral springs found on the right bank of the Dunajec River, at Zawodzie at the foot of Stajkowa Mountain, are a work of nature. They treat diseases of the respiratory tract, and digestive system as well as haemorrhages.
The rugged Pieniny Mountains, with the Pieniny National Park, are a jewel among the Carpathian mountain ranges. The VeloDunajec cycling route, one of the most picturesque and attractive cycling paths in Poland, runs along this route.
And it is worth mentioning that Krościenko – which was founded as early as in the 14th century – can also boast some remarkable foundations and monuments. These include the well-preserved layout of the medieval Market Square, the characteristic Pieniny buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the All Saints' Church from the 14th century with perfectly preserved frescoes. There is also a lot going on here - in June, there is Wianki na Dunajcu (Midsummer Night); in July - Krościenko Fair and Biesiada and Dunajcem; in July and August - Krościenko Summer... One could go on like this for so long.
