Kroscienko nad Dunajcem: Rynek
The Dunajec defines the setting of Krościenko nad Dunajcem — the river valley narrows between the wooded slopes of the Pieniny Mountains, giving this small town a compact, mountain-framed form. Krościenko lies beside Pieniny National Park and is closely associated with the traditional Dunajec raft passage through the gorge, one of southern Poland’s best-known river excursions. In the centre, the Church of All Saints retains its medieval origins, while steep-roofed houses and small streets follow the confined valley floor. The town is also a practical base for routes towards the Pieniny ridges and nearby Szczawnica.

The Vistula valley and the Carpathian foothills shape much of Lesser Poland Voivodeship, linking Kraków’s metropolitan life with farming districts and mountain tourism along its southern edge. Kraków, Poland’s former royal capital, remains the cultural centre: Wawel Castle and the medieval Old Town stand above the river, within a UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic core. Farther south, the Dunajec cuts through the Pieniny, while the Tatra Mountains form a highland frontier with Slovakia. The Wieliczka Salt Mine, worked from the Middle Ages, recalls the importance of salt to the old Polish state.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
