Description

Wooden rafting tours date back to the early 19th century, originally for visitors of Niedzica and Czorsztyn castles. Your raft trip starts in Sromowce Wyżne-Kąty village and follows the river 18 kilometers downstream to the resort town of Szczawnica.

After rafting, enjoy a restaurant lunch to recharge. Then continue to Bachledova Valley in Slovakia to explore the 1234-meter-long Bachledka Treetop Trail.
