Rabka – an idyllic land

In the south-west part of Lesser Poland, in the Rabczańska Valley which is surrounded by mountains, there is Rabka-Zdrój – a small but extremely popular resort among tourists and health visitors. It is a magical, spa town called the Town of Children of the World. The place offers numerous tourist attractions for both children and adults. Its location in a valley surrounded by the Gorce, the Island Beskids, the Żywiec Beskids and Podhale enables us to hit a variety of trails – on foot, on a horse, with skis or by bike. A few of them, including the Main Beskid Trail, cross the Spa Park. If you enjoy history and art, there are numerous museums, galleries and historic churches. In order to get familiar with the culinary and cultural heritage, visit a number of regional restaurants and participate in cultural events. On the basis of brine, which is present in Rabka Commune, a spa was formed. Tourists take advantage of its properties in sanatoria, mineral water pump rooms or brine graduation towers. Nothing else lets us relax and run away from the hustle and bustle of a big city than the mountain climate.

Thrill-seekers should head for Rabkoland Fun Park. One can also have a time of their life in the National Puppetry ‘Rabcio’ or in nearby Chabówka where the Open-air Rail Museum is situated. Rabka is also an excellent spot for those who love active leisure — there are a number of places where you can cycle, climb on a climbing wall, ski, have fun in a line park or wearing bounce shoes.

Kum-Ak Sport

A place which creates so many possibilities of active leisure is also full of talented people who will show you plenty of ideas on how to spend your time in an active way in Rabka and beyond its borders. One of such people is Łukasz Pędzimąż from Rabczański Line Park and Kum-Ak Sport – an instructor of climbing, snowboarding, alpine, cross-country skiing or ski-touring. He is a positive all-rounder who will teach children or adults everything he knows.
