- Trzy Korony (Three Crowns) — The signature summit of the Pieniny: a compact cliff-top viewpoint with an observation platform that gives sweeping panoramas over the Dunajec Gorge, the Pieniny ridge and, on clear days, the Tatra peaks. It’s short but dramatic—one of those views that makes the climb feel worth it.
- Sokolica and the famous pine — A steep, photo-ready viewpoint crowned by a single, wind-sculpted pine clinging to the rocks. The drop beside the tree frames the Dunajec below, and the spot is especially magical in golden-hour light.
- Dunajec River Gorge (raft trip) — The gorge itself is the trail’s showpiece: limestone walls, slow meanders and the traditional wooden rafts piloted by local raftmen. Hike along the rim and then take a raft for a completely different — and surprisingly

Hike along the rim and then take a raft for a completely different — and surprisingly relaxing — perspective of the same landscape.
- Wąwóz Homole (Homole Gorge) — A narrow, mossy canyon with wooden walkways, tiny cascades and close-up limestone textures. It’s a cool, quiet contrast to the open ridges and a great place to hear water and birds instead of wind.
- Niedzica Castle & Czorsztyn Lake views — A medieval castle perched above the reservoir that gives the Pieniny a human-story layer: ruins, damside panoramas and the ruins of Czorsztyn across the water. It’s a nice cultural stop that pairs well with easy lakeside walking or a ferry/bike detour.
