View of Trzy Korony and the Dunajec River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The most famous sight of the park is the border river Dunajec, which runs through the Pieniny Mountains in a gorge. There are many hiking opportunities there. Rafting is practiced on the river. Shortly before the Dunajec drains into Polish territory, the Lesnický potok stream flows into the almost 300-metre-deep gorge.

Orlica Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Beautiful shelter near the Dunajec, with accommodation and meals, with great views of the Three Crowns. A good place to stop during trips along the Dunajec. Everywhere beautiful, green, and generally better than at the computer.

Szczawnica–Lesnica Border Crossing

Highlight • Structure

As you can see in the photo from July 1997, there was a border fence in this place, which made it impossible to cross the Polish-Slovak border. Tourists who came from Szczawnica along the Dunajec River were forced to turn back. This was the case until 1999. On the Slovak side, it was so much better that there are two roads leading here - from Leśnica and Czerwony Klasztor, so it was possible to return by a different route.
----------------------------

The Szczawnica-Lesnica border crossing was established on July 1, 1999, in the area of the border marker No. II/94, with the place of check-in on the Slovak side in the town of Lesnica for citizens of Poland and Slovakia and citizens of countries with which both countries had abolished the obligation to have visas. It was open at 9.00-21.00 in the summer (April-September) and 9.00-17.00 in the winter (October-March). The traffic of pedestrians, cyclists, skiers and people using wheelchairs was allowed. Border and customs clearance was carried out by the bodies of the Border Guard.

On December 21, 2007, under the Schengen Agreement, the border crossing was closed.

The raft trip on the Slovakian-Polish border river was super, super nice for about 10 km.

The way back was a power struggle between pedestrians and cyclists with some tricky situations that were again due to the increased number of visitors 😉

The Pieniny Mountains, formerly also called the Crown Mountains, are a rugged mountain range in the Polish-Slovak border region northeast of the High Tatras. At the Červený Kláštor (Red Monastery) begins the Dunajec mountain gorge, which is up to 300 m deep, and the river is the border river between Poland and Slovakia for a stretch of 18 kilometers.

The last day of a hot summer trip ;)
Something for the eye, for the lazy, after yesterday's,
a.k.a. Dunajec River Rafting :)
It's been 38 years since I went rafting, and I remember a few things, but you know how memories are, terribly fleeting.
Over 2 hours well spent, beautiful views, firm boards, I can't sit still for that …
