The first strokes set the pace. The raft slides forward and the limestone walls of the Dunajec Gorge close in, gray cliffs tilting above as if listening. Water nudges the hull; eddies toy with your paddle. For the next two-plus hours the river guides the rhythm—calm pools where you can relax, shallow riffles that deliver a mild thrill, and long, panoramic reaches where the Pieniny mountains lean toward the current.
