Explore Subregion

Pieniny Małe belong to the eastern part of the Pieniny range, stretching from the Dunajec Gorge to the Slovak village of Jarzębina. They are characterised by the diversity of landscape, which makes them an excellent place for hiking, cycling and skiing. Most of these activities can be enjoyed on specially prepared trails in the reserves, which protect unusual rock formations and rare natural specimens.

  • Name

    Pieniny Małe were not known by their name until the middle of the 19th century, before that the area was called "Szlachtowska Rus"

  • Remnants of silver mines

    Beneath Jarmuta, you can find disused adits, left over from 18th century silver mines. Entry to the area is forbidden, yet stories about them continue to interest not only locals but also visitors.

  • House of the symbol of the Pieniny National Park

    In the Homole Gorge, you can see the Apollo's Clouded Apollo, a rare butterfly specimen that is a symbol of the Pieniny National Park.

A feast for the eyes

The Lesser Pieniny is an ideal place for a longer holiday or a day trip. The numerous hiking trails, picturesque views and lack of need for strong fitness to traverse them make them attractive to families, the elderly and young people. Most of these people will be following the most popular hiking trail in the area on one section of their trip. It leads along the ridge of Malé Pieniny and allows, in good weather, to drink in the beautiful panoramas of the surrounding mountain ranges.

Not only hikers will enjoy

It is worth remembering that these places are not just for hiking, some of them have also been adapted for cyclists. Those less inclined to physical activity will also find something for themselves. They can relax in the surrounding spa towns or use chairlifts and enjoy the beautiful views at the expense of a little effort. One cable car runs to Palenica from Szczawnica, while the other runs from the Zaskalski valley in Jaworki to Bukowinki. History buffs, on the other hand, may be interested in visiting the monuments in Szczawnica, Jaworki, Szlachtowa or Czerwony Klasztor.

Nature Reserves

In Poland, relic sites and unique natural formations are protected by nature reserves. Currently, there are four such sites in the Little Pieniny area: Biała Woda Nature Reserve, Wąwóz Homole, Wysokie Skałki and Zaskalskie-Bodnarówka. Fortunately, despite the need to protect the landscape, three of the four reserves are open to the public. The exception to this is the Zasaklskie-Bodnarówka reserve, the visiting of which requires permission from the Forestry Commission. This is because of the active protection implemented there since 2016.
