Abstract

Landscape-nature protected complexes, and cultural qualities of the Czorsztyn reservoir region, the developing tourist infrastructure, location, close to the national border, and close distance to Nowy Targ (around 20 km) and Kraków (100 km) mean that this is an attractive region for weekend tourism, mainly for Nowy Targ citizens, but also for Kraków dwellers. Environmental, mainly scenic qualities, water reservoirs located in the areas of large height differences are the main features determining tourist attractiveness of the region. An additional factor is the possibility of cultivating various forms of tourism and recreation. A relatively weak position of this region as a weekend tourism destination is influenced by a strong competition from Zakopane and the entire Tatra Mountains region, inadequate external accessibility of the region, and insufficiently developed tourist and recreational infrastructure.
