A network of loess gorges surrounds the town — Korzeniowy and Malachowskiego rank among the deepest in Europe.

Krakow Balice Airport (KRK) to Niedzica

Opposite, on the far bank of the lake, stand the ruins of Czorsztyn Castle — a tourist passenger ferry runs between the two. Five kilometres from the castle, at Sromowce Wyzne, the Dunajec Gorge rafting trip begins on traditional rafts (10 April to end of October). 145 km via the Zakopianka S7 to Nowy Targ, then DK49 to Niedzica — 2 h 15 min - 2 h 30 min off-peak.
