The Pieniny (PIENAP) National Park

This park is located in the north of eastern Slovakia in the mountain range of Spišská Magura and it partly forms a natural border with Poland. Pieniny is Slovakia’s smallest national park and is rich in natural beauty and picturesque scenery.

Under the Mts Tri Koruny the river Dunajec pushes its way through a limestone canyon 9 km in length which is one of major natural features in the national park which was declared a state nature reserve in 1967. There are over 20 species of fish in the Dunajec river including trout and huchen. The village centre of Červený Kláštor, is occupied by the cultural monument dating back to the beginning of the 14th century.
