Dunajec River - Szczawinca
Following your stay in Krakow you are driven south to the Tatras Mountains where you spend 5 glorious days in the back of beyond, following the course of the Dunajec river as it descends through breathtaking mountain scenery. Don’t be put off by the word ‘mountain’ as the route is mostly downhill and for much of the way it follows brand new cycle paths.
You’ll enjoy incredible mountain views and visit traditional alpine villages along the way. Clear alpine lakes, ancient castles and towering peaks will also vie for your attention and you will love the stunning ride through the pristine wilderness of teh Dunajec Gorge itself.
Opt for either the self guided tour, using maps and route notes or join a group with a local English speaking guide who takes care of navigation and is also a font of knowledge on local culture and customs. This leisurely cycle route follows cycle paths and quiet lanes and is suitable for all cyclists with an average level of fitness. There are one or two short climbs but nothing too taxing and much of the route is gently downhill.
