Rafting
on the Dunajec river – it is an extraordinary experience which you will never
forget. The adventure starts in Kąty where is the raft harbour and where you
can buy tickets (the adult ticket price is 43 PLN to Krościenko and 35 PLN to
Szczawnica, ticket for children to the age of 10 costs 22.50 PLN to Szczawnica
and 18.50 PLN to Krościenko – state for 2004, in the tickets price parking
place in Kąty included). To Kąty you can go by a local bus from any bigger
village in the area. You can also go there by your own car and take the bus
from Szczawnica or Krościenko where the raft ends. Before the raft trip starts
you can admire the magnificent massif of Trzy Korony (the Three Crowns) the
highest peak of the Pieniny range. When we flow at the foot of the peak, where
the actual raft begins, the beauty of the landscape reaches its best.
The
rafts can take up to 10 people and 2 rafts men who are the pilots. While going along the Dunajec
river we can admire magnificent rocks forming a deep canyon, one of the most
beautiful in Europe. The raft lasts 2.5 to 3 hours depending on the water
level. The rafts men with their jokes and local tales create the specific
atmosphere of the whole trip.
