Rafting on the wooden rafts on river Dunajec
Rafting using wooden rafts is one of the greatest tourist attractions of northern Slovakia. One of the unforgettable experiences is certainly rafting down the river Dunajec in the splendid natural scenery of the Pieniny National Park. The wooden raft is a vessel made of logs, beams or boards. Besides wood transfer, it used to serve for transferring various materials, occasionally also people. The best known route is rafting down the Prielom Dunajca from the village Červený Kláštor. The end of route is near the chalet Pieniny where one can listen to goral music and taste goral specialities. The tour on the raft is 11 km long and takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The narrow offers several romantic nooks that became subjects of numerous popular legends. The narrow tapers at its initial part. This place is called the Jump of Jánošík and the stream of the Dunajec river is only 10 metres wide with the depth as much as 12 metres. Rock towers, some of them 80 metres tall, can be seen on the slope of Holica Mt. (828 m) next to the third meander of the river. Their name Sedem mníchov (Seven monks) is also associated with a folk legend. At the final part of the narrow, in the place called Pod Osobitou skalou springs the carstic brook Storočná voda, which never freezes even in coldest winters. The legend has that the one who drinks of it will live hundred years.
