The Raba River, flowing through the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, is a mountain river with cool and clean waters. Its temperature is typically lower due to its origin in the Gorce Mountains, ranging from 8°C–14°C during spring and autumn, and rarely exceeding 18°C in summer. These cooler conditions make it less suitable for prolonged swimming but perfect for refreshing dips on hot days.
The river is more popular for rafting, kayaking, and fishing than for swimming. Certain sections, especially near natural pools and calmer areas, allow for safe paddling or wading, making it a great spot for families looking to enjoy nature. The surrounding landscapes and crystal-clear waters attract visitors who seek peaceful outdoor activities.
