The beautiful medieval city of Krakow and the Pieniny and Tatras mountains to its south, provide the perfect backdrop for this short escape which aims to make the most of the cold, crisp Polish winter. Focusing on the outdoors and conditions allowing, we spend an exhilarating two days on winter rambles or snow-shoeing, take a sleigh ride and have the option to ski or take a snowmobile. A scenic drive takes us back to the architectural delights and charming cafes of Krakow.
Mountains & Gorges From Krakow we drive straight to our hotel in the delightful spa town of Szczawnica nestling in the picturesque Pieniny mountains. Weve 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 easilymastered 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, Polands 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.
