After the rafting: a shepherd's hut in Białka Tatrzańska.
The day doesn't end at the landing. After the rafting we drive to Białka Tatrzańska, where a shepherd's hut with a bonfire is waiting — oscypek cheese straight from the shepherd, liqueurs, a smokehouse and covered tables.
- tasting of regional oscypek cheese
- tasting of traditional liqueurs
- smokehouse and bonfire on site
- a little shop with regional products
Not a rubber dinghy, not a kayak.
- The Dunajec Gorge: the river cuts through the limestone cliffs of the Pieniny, with up to 300 m between the bottom of the canyon and the peaks
- The tradition of the Pieniny raftsmen has been on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage since 2021
- Two raftsmen steer each raft — this isn't rubber-dinghy rafting or kayaking
