When talking about Krościenko nad Dunajcem, it’s impossible not to mention the numerous mineral water sources found there. Locals and tourists alike benefit from them daily, and tourists can take some “health” home with them in bottles. It’s certainly worth paying attention to “Stefan” and “Michalina,” which are located on the slopes of Stajkowa Góra. The waters of Krościenko are known for their medicinal properties. They have a beneficial effect on inflammation, septic fever, bleeding, jaundice, pulmonary tuberculosis, nervous disorders, and stomach cramps. There are small taps near the springs, so anyone who wants can take some water for themselves and feel their extraordinary power. However, be careful, as they may not appeal to everyone!

It is located at 107b Jagiellońska Street, and the exhibition is divided into several sections. In the geological section, you can see a collection of rocks found in the Pieniny Mountains, as well as models depicting the characteristic geological cross-sections of the Pieniny. The fauna presented in the museum includes a collection of stuffed animals, and the flora of the Pieniny is depicted by numerous photographs showing individual plant species and their characteristic features. Interested visitors can also watch a short film entitled "Four Seasons in the Pieniny." The museum is open almost all year round, and the opening hours depend on the season; you can check them on the website.

Although Krościenko does not currently have town rights, its “urban” past is certainly palpable. Therefore, it is worth asking the question: what historical monuments can we find in Krościenko? One of them is certainly the 14th-century church dedicated to All Saints. It is quite small but richly decorated with numerous frescoes, allowing one to feel the presence of many generations of worshippers who prayed here. It is also worth taking a walk along Trzech Koron Street, where many buildings commemorate the history of Krościenko are located. Initially, the street climbs steeply uphill, and in its initial section, we can find the chapel of St. Roch. Further along, there are the manor of the Dziewolski family, which now houses the headquarters of the Krościenko Forest District, and the House of Stanisław Czepiel, behind which is the building of the Pieniny Art Gallery.

We also have good news for avid mountain hikers: many hiking trails start in Krościenko, leading to the most popular peaks among tourists! The most popular one is the yellow trail, which leads from the market square in Krościenko to Sromowce Niżne. However, it is worth noting that at Przełęcz Szopka, we can turn off it towards Trzy Korony. Another popular trail is the green one, which starts at Przełęcz Sosnów and ends in Czertezik. Przełęcz Sosnów also allows us to reach Sokolica via the blue trail, from which there are beautiful views of the Tatra Mountains and the Dunajec Gorge. However, Krościenko offers more than just mountain trails. Those who enjoy getting around on two wheels can take advantage of the Velo Dunajec cycling route, which starts in Krościenko.

Most tourists visiting Krościenko probably have rafting through the Dunajec River Gorge in mind. The most popular route runs from Sromowce Niżne to Szczawnica and is 11 km long, but it is also possible to reach Krościenko by raft. Rafting on a raft or (for adrenaline enthusiasts) in a kayak provides a great opportunity to admire the mountains – Trzy Korony (Three Crowns) and Sokolica – from a completely different perspective – from below. We will be treated to beautiful views of the rocky, almost vertical cliffs, and the boatmen, known for their great sense of humor, will tell us about the legends and their history. The rafting season lasts from April 1st to October 31st.
