Introducing Szczawnica

Picturesquely located along the Grajcarek River, Szczawnica (shchahv-nee-tsah) has developed into a popular summer resort, while its mineral springs have made it an important spa. It’s also the disembarkation point for Dunajec Gorge raft trips.

The town spreads for 4km along the main road, ul Główna, and is divided into two suburbs, Szczawnica Niżna (Szczawnica Lower) to the west and Szczawnica Wyżna (Szczawnica Upper) to the east, with the bus station more or less in between. Most of the tourist and spa facilities are in the upper section, which also boasts most of the fine old timber houses.
