Dunajec rafting

Would you like to experience the Dunajec in all its glory? Be sure not to miss one of the most fascinating experiences when visiting Pieniny - Dunajec rafting surrounded by beautiful nature.

Haligovské rocks

Bizarre rock towers, karst valleys (Široká, Hlboká), hollows and dry water beds. In Pieniny there are caves, too, but their interior remains hidden from the sight of tourists. These include Aksamitka Cave in Red Rock and Zbojnícka Cave under Hrubá Rock. Its distinguishing sign is the 5 meters high rock window Zbojnícka Gate.
