Webcam is located in the village of Red Monastery


Webcam is located in the village of Red Monastery about 50 meters from the footbridge over the Dunajec, and is oriented to the Three Crowns. Situated in Pieniny, Slovakia. The most northerly part of the Spiš region, bordering on Poland, consists of the attractively picturesque Zamagurie, an area which boasts an unusual wealth of natural beauties, historical heritage and unique folk architecture. Pieniny National Park, with its inimitable "Three Crowns" crags, the Spišská Magura hills and Ľubovňa uplands and their typical "goral" villages, all have innumerable beauties to offer the perceptive tourist. In the summer months the forests are full of wild fruits and mushrooms, and anglers have the chance of some wonderful fishing in the clear waters of the Dunajec, Lipnička and Rieka rivers. In winter the skiers come into their own, for this picture-postcard landscape also has excellent slopes and tracks for downhill and cross-country skiing. The greatest symbol of Zamagurie are the wild, inspiring Pieniny peaks. They are not very high, but this 35-kilometre range is surely one of the most beautiful and most valuable areas in Central Europe. The most distinctive, dominant feature of Pieniny and the Zamagurie landscape as a whole is the majestic, three-pointed rocky peak called the "Three Crowns" (982 metres). The steep Pieniny crags are washed by the River Dunajec, which is also the national border. With its fierce current it has carved a deep and narrow canyon 8.5 kilometres long through the limestone hills, forming an impressive sequence of rearing cliffs, sharp bends and charming meanders. The greatest attraction for tourists visiting Pieniny is to take a romantic ride down the Dunajec on typical "goral" wooden rafts amidst the beautiful natural scenery of Pieniny National Park. It is possible to start Dunajec raft rides at the village of Majere, or from one of the landing stages further downstream. The most spectacular part of the ride is through the stunning Dunajec Gorge down to Lesnica Creek. A nature trail also follows the river bank down through the Gorge.
