Poprad: Dunajec River Rafting

Set out in the morning from your hotel in Poprad and enjoy a scenic drive north to Sromowce-Kąty — a charming starting point for your Dunajec River rafting adventure through the Pieniny Mountains. Upon arrival, you’ll meet experienced local rafters — often dressed in traditional highlander attire — who will introduce you to your traditional wooden raft and safety gear before you begin your journey.

Glide smoothly down the gentle, meandering river as it carves its way between dramatic limestone walls and lush forests. This 2-hour scenic rafting route takes you through one of Central Europe’s most iconic natural landscapes, with views of soaring peaks like Sokolica and Three Crowns, and abundant opportunities to spot wildlife and enjoy the tranquility of the gorge. Your skilled rafters will share fascinating insights into the region’s geology, folklore, and rafting tradition as you drift along the river’s calm waters, making this experience both educational and wonderfully relaxing.

After your rafting experience, you’ll return toward Slovakia with a visit to Kežmarok, a historic town known for its charming medieval centre and the UNESCO-listed wooden Protestant church — a highlight of the Spiš region. Spend some free time here exploring local streets, enjoying a traditional meal, or browsing souvenirs before heading back to Poprad, arriving in the early evening with unforgettable memories of alpine scenery and timeless river adventure.
