Discover Gródek Nad Dunajcem
Accommodation in Gródek Nad Dunajcem
Gródek Nad Dunajcem offers several options for a trip to Poland: a yellow cycling route, other trails for hiking and cycling, seasonal boat trips on Lake Rożnowskie and a nearby island with natural and historical features. When choosing where to stay, you can weigh these options against one another. Would you rather explore routes on land, plan a trip on the lake or take the area’s historical and natural features into account? The location, season and time required differ between these options.
Cycling and hiking trails
The yellow, so-called Wine Cycling Route passes through Gródek Nad Dunajcem. Other hiking and cycling trails also start in the town and run through the entire municipality. This distinction is useful when choosing a route: the named Wine Cycling Route passes through the town, while the other trails start here and extend throughout the municipality. Check the yellow route’s markings before setting out; conditions on individual trails may change. Gródek therefore offers both a clearly named route and a starting point for hiking and cycling trips around the municipality.
Boat trips on Lake Rożnowskie
The passenger boat “Jaskółka” operates on Lake Rożnowskie during the summer season, between Gródek Nad Dunajcem and the dam at Rożnów. The trip takes about two hours, including a 30-minute stop. Since the stop is included, you can allow around two hours for the entire trip. The boat operates seasonally; check the current timetable locally. In terms of planning your day, this is a boat trip of a defined duration, while the hiking and cycling trails offer routes on land through the municipality.
Horse riding and carriage rides
The “Koński oGródek” horse stable is in the centre of Gródek Nad Dunajcem, around 50 metres from Lake Rożnowskie. A municipal description dated 20 August 2025 lists horse riding and carriage rides as activities offered there. If either activity affects your plans, check in advance whether it will be available on your travel date. This helps you place the activity geographically: it is in the centre and close to the lake.
Grodzisko Island: nature and history
Nearby lies Grodzisko Island, also called Małpia Wyspa, in the middle of Lake Rożnowskie. The island is home to the ruins of a castle associated with Gródek Nad Dunajcem. Grodzisko also contains a waterbird reserve and a medieval archaeological site. Nature and history come together on the same island: the waterbird reserve, the archaeological site and the castle ruins. Travellers who want to take both natural and historical features into account when choosing a destination will find a different focus here than on the land-based trails or a boat trip.
