The end of the beautiful route across the Pieniny Gorge. A good 12 km on a beautifully maintained bike path, partly paved.

A very well-known spa town in the Pieniny Mountains (southern Poland). There are numerous bike and mountain bike rentals here. And the potential is enormous, whether to Slovakia via the beautiful Dunajec Gorge or to Radziejowa Mountain, which stands at 1,266 meters and offers a magnificent panorama. On the local mountain, Palenica, at 722 meters, there are accessible mountain bike descents on singletrack. You can then take the chairlift up.

A very beautiful section through the Dunajec Gorge with views of the river and the steep cliffs of the Pieniny Mountains. 10 km of pure pleasure.

In the castle area, local drivers show little respect for cyclists. Unpleasant road incidents, from verbal altercations to collisions/accidents, are common. The route is beautiful nonetheless.

From the dam wall of the Czorstynskie dam you have the best view of the castle and can take good photos.
