The Polish Pieniński Park Narodowy and the Slovak National Natural Reserve in Pieniny was the first International Landscape Park in Europe (founded in 08.17.1932).
The National Park of Pieniny (PIENAP) was founded by the Act of the Slovak National Council Chair on January 16, 1967 at the area of 21,25 km2. The most attractive for tourists is rafting in 9 km long Dunajec Canyon from the Red Monastery to Lesnica. After taking a raft, you can: 1. hike back to the Red Monastery following the tourist trail along the Dunajec River, 2. take a bus from Lesnica.
