Discover Biały Dunajec

Biały Dunajec offers several distinct ways to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike: hiking trails cross the Pogórze Gubałowskie ridge to Gubałówka or pass through named places on the way to Kuny, while one cycling route forms a loop that returns to the village. There is also a two-hour walk through the village. When planning your stay, comparing the destination, route and stated duration can help you choose the routes that fit your holiday schedule.

Hikes with different destinations

The two-hour hiking route from Biały Dunajec to Gubałówka passes through Tatary and Ząb and crosses the Pogórze Gubałowskie ridge; it offers views of the Tatra Mountains and the surrounding area. It thus combines a named destination with a route through villages and along a ridge.

A second hiking route reaches the same destination after three hours, but passes through Leszczyny, Sierockie, Rolów Wierch and Ząb. The two routes to Gubałówka therefore share a destination and the intermediate village of Ząb, but differ in their other stops and stated duration. A three-and-a-half-hour route has a different destination: it passes through Stołowe, Gliczarów Górny, Gliczarów Dolny and Wojtusiców Wierch on the way to Kuny. The stated durations of two, three and three and a half hours, along with the different destinations, offer a concrete comparison for planning your hikes.

A walk through Biały Dunajec

The two-hour walk, “Walk around Biały Dunajec,” begins in Sołtystwo, the oldest part of the village. Its route runs through the valley of the Biały Dunajec stream and along Jana Pawła II, Kościuszki, Miłośników Podhala and Piłsudskiego streets towards Poronin. Unlike the hikes whose destinations are Gubałówka or Kuny, this route passes through a valley and along several of the village's streets. Its stated duration and route therefore offer an alternative to the hikes with their named destinations.

Cycling routes: a loop or a ride to a destination

A cycling route of about 15 kilometres runs from Biały Dunajec through Gliczarów Dolny and Gliczarów Górny and back to the village. Two other cycling routes start at the municipal office and are rated difficult. The 12-kilometre route has 300 metres of elevation gain and a stated riding time of three hours; it heads towards Gliczarów Górny. The 20-kilometre route also has 300 metres of elevation gain, is listed as taking two and a half hours, and leads to Bukowina Tatrzańska. The two difficult routes offer a choice of different distances, riding times and destinations. Along with the loop of about 15 kilometres, they make for a clear comparison: return to Biały Dunajec or continue to a named destination. You can take the starting points at the municipal office and in Biały Dunajec into account when planning your cycling stages.

A place to visit in the village

Another place to visit in Biały Dunajec is the Roman Catholic parish of NMP Królowej Aniołów (Our Lady Queen of Angels). It adds a religious point of interest in the village to the hiking routes, village walk and cycling routes.
