- Prielom Dunajca (Dunajec River Gorge) — The park’s showpiece: steep limestone walls and a slow, cinematic river. Traditional wooden raft trips are the easiest way to soak it in; the raftmen steer with long poles and you just watch cliffs, forests and birds glide by.
- Sokolica Peak and the Iconic Pine — A short but steep hike rewards you with that famous lone pine clinging to a cliff and a postcard view of the Dunajec meanders. Perfect for sunrise or late-afternoon light and worth the calf burn.
- Three Crowns (Tri Koruny) — The highest, most panoramic viewpoint in the park. There’s a small observation platform where you can see the Dunajec bend, surrounding foothills and, on clear days, the High Tatras in the distance.

- Červený Kláštor (Red Monastery) — A peaceful riverside monastery with a tiny museum and tea tradition. It’s a pretty base for hikes or a low-key cultural stop between canyon walks and raft trips.
- Homoľská Tiesňava (Homole Gorge) — A narrow, atmospheric limestone gorge with wooden steps and small cascades. Short, dramatic and very different from the wide-open ridge views—great when you want shade and close-up rock scenery.
- Lesnické Viewpoints and Dunajec Meanders — Several lookout spots above Lesnica and nearby trails give classic sweeping views of the river’s tight S-turns. Prime photo-op territory, especially when rafts are threading the river below.
- Wildlife, Orchids and Mountain Meadows — The park’s small area packs rich biodiversity: spring meadows full of orchids, butterflies in summer, and diverse birdlife along the river and cliffs. Not flashy like big-game sightings, but rewarding if you like quiet nature watching.
