TIABP 2025

As part of the experiential and accompanying program of the conference, several activities are planned that will make the time spent there more enjoyable for the participants. Of course, there is a social evening and also a round table discussion, where we believe that the conference participants will find common ground and potential topics for future cooperation in their scientific work. The plan is to visit the small Romuald craft brewery in the grounds of the Červený kláštor monastery. A visit to the Pieniny and its surroundings cannot be complete without the famous rafting on the Dunajec River. Nearby is also the famous Czorsztyn Lake, on which a cruise by boat is planned. We will also visit the technical premises of the Niedzica dam hydroelectric power plant. Those who are less experienced can take a hiking trip to the Tri Koruny Mountains, which can be viewed directly from the hotel.

Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Czorsztyn in Poland

As part of the conference program, you are invited to join a panoramic cruise on Lake Czorsztyn — an artificial reservoir on the Dunajec River, situated between the Pieniny and Gorce mountains. The cruise will take place on the HARNAŚ boat, which also serves as a floating café. From the deck, you will enjoy breathtaking views of Niedzica Castle (Dunajec), the ruins of Czorsztyn Castle, the Niedzica dam, as well as the forested slopes of the Pieniny National Park and the surrounding natural landscape. The cruise lasts approximately 50 minutes and operates during the summer season from May to October. Onboard, you will find sunny terraces at the front and back for relaxation, as well as a glazed café in the central part of the boat, where you can enjoy coffee, a refreshing drink, or a sweet treat accompanied by pleasant music.

Guided Tour of the Niedzica Hydroelectric Power Plant on Lake Czorsztyn

For conference participants, a guided tour of the Niedzica hydroelectric power plant is organized, part of a complex of four power plants on Lake Czorsztyn. The plant, including the unique peak (pumping) turbine, utilizes water from the reservoir and today primarily operates as a run-of-the-river power station. During the guided tour, you will have a unique opportunity to learn about the history of the dam's construction, which began as early as 1905. The tour offers a combination of technical insights, historical points of interest, and beautiful views of the surrounding nature and the Pieniny National Park.

Traditional Raft Cruise on the Dunajec River, Poland

For conference participants, a traditional raft cruise on the Dunajec River is organized on the Polish side of the Pieniny Mountains. The rafts, which are a historic means of transport in the region, will take you gently through picturesque landscapes with views of the rocky cliffs of the Pieniny National Park, forested slopes, and the surrounding nature. The length of the cruise varies depending on the chosen route, with the most popular being the journey from Sromowce Wyżne to Szczawnica, lasting approximately 2 hours and covering about 18 kilometers. During the cruise, you will have a unique opportunity to admire the characteristic limestone rock formations, such as Tri Koruny (Three Crowns) and Sokola skala (Sokolica), which are symbols of the Pieniny Mountains.nazov
