Giro veloce in bici da Szczawnica a Krościenko nad Dunajcem

Kick off your ride in Szczawnica, a charming spa town nestled in the picturesque Pieniny Mountains, renowned for its mineral springs and scenic river walks. The route to Krościenko nad Dunajcem is a mellow 6.5 km adventure—perfect for a relaxed afternoon outing.

You’ll mostly cruise on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests. There’s a gentle ascent in the beginning to get those legs working, but more descent awaits (so you can enjoy coasting with the wind in your hair). Keep an eye out for occasional stretches where the road surface gets a bit rough, but nothing a sturdy bike and a sense of adventure can’t handle.

After skirting the Dunajec River for much of the ride, you’ll roll into Krościenko nad Dunajcem—a lovely riverside village that serves as a popular jumping-off point for hiking and rafting in the Pieniny National Park. Take time to grab an ice cream by the river before heading back or exploring more of the region. This easygoing route is a great way to experience some of southern Poland’s best landscapes!
