Facts and practical information

Zbójnicki SKOK, Zbójecki Skok, Janosikowo Skok, formerly also called Lijem by rafters - Dunajec narrowing at the turn of Pieniński, in which the river is only 12 m width, flowing in a narrow rock gorge between the limestone walls of Łysina and the monastery mountain. This place is not visible from the Pienińska Road led on the right side of the Dunajec, because they are covered with trees. In this narrowing, the current accelerates, and the depth increases - according to rafters - up to 8 m. They call this place to deep. Sometimes, to prove this, they threw Żerdki into the water vertically, which after some time popped up.

Flisacy transported on rafts to tourists tell that in this place Janosik ", running away from the Hajduk sent behind him by the Lord at the castle in Niedzica, jumped over Dunajec." The trail of impressed river was allegedly left on the left promontory of the river. There are also legends according to which robbers underwent jumps at this place.
