Description

Mountains & Gorges
From Krakow we drive straight to our hotel in the delightful spa town of Szczawnica nestling in the picturesque Pieniny mountains. We've two full days to enjoy the crisp fresh air here, taking a scenic drive over the border to the Slovakian village of Cerveny Klastor and the start of our walk along the “Pieniny Way” which weaves alongside the river in the stunning Dunajec Gorge. The craggy and forested limestone cliffs are a haven for many species of birds. Conditions allowing, we don snow-shoes for the more remote trails, an easily mastered way to make light work in the thicker snows. For those who wish, there are some popular (and very good value) ski slopes to the south of the town or chance to try snowmobiling from nearby Jaworky. An evening sleigh ride provides the perfect ending to an active day.

Medieval Krakow
We plan to stop off in the historic town of Nowy Sacz as we make our way back to Krakow, Poland's most celebrated city, where we stay near the famous market square. We've time to explore the architectural delights of the historic town before our short trip concludes.
