Nowy Targ

The Trail Around the Tatras and the Velo Dunajec run through Nowy Targ. In the Bór na Czerwonem Nature Reserve, a nature trail features a 170-meter wooden boardwalk and an observation platform above the peat bog. Two marked hiking trails lead from the Oleksówki and Kowaniec districts to different destinations: the PTTK mountain hut on Turbacz and the Koliba on Łapsowa Polana. The Printing Museum offers insights into printing techniques, art, traditions, and the history of the town and the entire region.

The nature trail in the Bór na Czerwonem Nature Reserve follows a 170-meter wooden boardwalk that ends at an observation platform above the peat bog. From the platform, you can enjoy views of the Tatras and the Gorce Mountains. This brings together the peat bog as a natural environment and sweeping views of two mountain ranges on a single nature trail.

Anyone interested in nature and landscape can make this place a focus of their travel plans. The trail’s features offer a clear point of reference: the boardwalk is 170 meters long, and the observation platform is above the peat bog. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider whether this nature-focused experience, the hiking trails, or the cultural attractions will shape your stay.

A green-marked hiking trail leads from the Oleksówki district in Nowy Targ to the PTTK mountain hut on Turbacz. A blue-marked trail connects the Kowaniec district with the Koliba on Łapsowa Polana. The different markings and starting points make the two routes easy to tell apart; they also have different destinations. If you’re planning hikes, you can use the stated starting point and destination to decide which trail is relevant to your plans.

There are also two named routes to help cyclists find their way: the Trail Around the Tatras and the Velo Dunajec run through Nowy Targ. Both pass through the town, and their names clearly distinguish them from the marked hiking trails to the huts mentioned above. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between cycling and hiking interests without confusing their respective routes and destinations.

The Printing Museum focuses on printing techniques, art, and traditions. It also covers the history of Nowy Targ and the entire region. For travelers who want to include local culture alongside nature, it offers a thematic introduction encompassing craftsmanship, art, and regional history.

The JATKI Art Gallery began exhibiting in September 1991 with a show of works by artists from Nowy Targ. U Borzanka is a historic inn with a carriage house dating from the late 18th century. It was built of dressed stone and brick, plastered, and topped with a shingle roof. Its described architecture also includes a portico supported by two round columns.

Traditional ice cream from well-known shops in the town center is considered a Nowy Targ tradition. It adds a local culinary dimension to the nature and culture on offer. This gives the town several points of interest for travel planning: landscapes and trails, art and history, and a local ice cream tradition.

For your own trip planning, you can also consider Czarny Dunajec, Czorsztyn, Chyżne, Podwilk, Huba, Raba Wyżna, Szlembark and Dursztyn for comparison.
