A few shots from the Małopolska region – the Velo Dunajec route shows how stunning southern Poland can be in a single ride. From the Tatra Mountains – the country's highest range – past the castles above Lake Czorsztyn, and into the Dunajec Gorge in the Pieniny Mountains, almost every kilometer brings new scenery and atmosphere.
The route is a bit over 200 km long, making it a great choice for both a short trip and a longer tour when combined with the Cycle Route Around the Tatras or the Vistula Cycling Route. What stands out here is the large share of newly built cycling paths and a network of cyclist-friendly services, including accommodation certified as bike-friendly (MPR).
Here's a first set of photos from the section between Nowy Targ and Szczawnica. In two-three weeks we'll share our full guide to the entire route – from Zakopane to Tarnów. Once it's ready, it will be added to our Komoot collection – stay tuned:

Before I post our full route on our website, you can check the official route of Velo Dunajec on the region’s “draft” map on Google Maps – the black lines are standalone asphalt cycling paths, most of them running along river embankments:
