Sights & Activities

Szczawnica is a good starting point for hiking in both the Pieniny and the Beskid Sądecki ranges. Three trails originate in town and two more begin at Jaworki, 8km to the southeast.

It’s also an excellent centre for biking , with some demanding mountain bike trails in the hills, and a gentler, more family-friendly run that skirts the Dunajec Gorge for most of its length. The Dunajec Gorge cycling trail starts at the base of the Palenica Chairlift and runs 15km along the Dunajec River to the Slovak town of Červený Kláštor. There are several rental outfits around town, including a couple of big ones at the base of the chairlift (4/25zł per hr/day). Most hiking maps also identify cycling trails.
