For most travelers, the best time to visit Krościenko is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warmest and most activities are available.
During this period, the Pieniny Mountains are ideal for hiking, with well-maintained trails offering views of the Dunajec River Gorge and landmarks like Trzy Korony peak. The Dunajec River rafting, a popular regional attraction, operates frequently, providing a leisurely way to experience the scenery. The town also hosts a variety of local events and festivals, adding to the visitor experience. Families will find this time particularly suitable, with pleasant weather for outdoor adventures and ample opportunities for children to enjoy nature.
Should you prefer fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) are also excellent choices. The landscape during these shoulder seasons is exceptionally scenic, with spring blooms or autumn foliage. While some attractions might have reduced operating hours compared to peak summer, you'll still find ample opportunities for hiking and sightseeing.
