Kroscienko nad Dunajcem

Modest town on the Dunajec River in southern Poland's Pieniny mountains, Krościenko nad Dunajcem serves as the seat of Pieniny National Park and a base for exploring the surrounding mountain terrain. King Kazimierz Wielki granted it town rights in 1348, placing it on the royal route between Kraków and Buda. A central cluster of cafés and restaurants makes it a practical stop, and UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
