Pieniny National Park

Krościenko nad Dunajcem, Poland

About this place

Pieniny National Park is a protected area set in the heart of the Pieniny Mountains in the southernmost part of Poland. It is the oldest national park in the country, and it lies in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship right on the border with Slovakia. The park’s head office is in Krościenko nad Dunajcem, making it a natural starting point for a visit and a good choice for a day out in nature.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

  • landscapes shaped by the Pieniny Mountains, with a clearly protected natural setting that reflects the park’s location in southern Poland
  • a borderland atmosphere, since the park stretches along the frontier with Slovakia in Lesser Poland Voivodeship
  • a visit connected with the park’s administrative center in Krościenko nad Dunajcem, which is useful for planning a trip and learning more about the area

If you are planning a visit, it is worth checking the weather and wearing comfortable shoes, especially if you want to combine the park with a short walk or a longer outdoor outing. This is a good option for travelers looking for a calm, nature-focused stop in a historically important national park.
