Feliks Pawe Gestwicki Rafters - Flisacy - 1933
When gunshots were fired and echoed among the rocks in the valley of the Dunajec around the massif of the Pieniny mountain range in the 1930s and the 1940s, it was clear that rafters were carrying tourists. Each raft trip was a triumph; the participants celebrated their win against the forces of nature, and occasionally – their escape from mortal dangers. Salutes were fired from mortars and short guns. Then, Romani music was played. Among other things, the orchestra played the Hungarian national dance – the csardas. This was an homage to the Hungarian origin of the aristocratic family residing in the Niedzica Castle. Its members are said to have originated the idea to organize recreational raft trips on the river, to gain profits from them and to promote them as a new pastime among visitors and locals - LIDIA PAŃKÓW
