The city

What to expect from Červený Kláštor.

Small village on the banks of the Dunajec River, on the border with Poland, within the Zamagurie region. The name, which means “red monastery,” comes from the 14th-century Carthusian monastery, now a museum. It is the embarkation point for the wooden rafts that descend the Dunajec gorge and the start of the trail that follows the river to Lesnica. A footbridge links the village to Sromowce Niżne in Poland.
