Lamb Trail
Wadowice is famous for its cream cakes, while Szczawnica is known for its delicious lamb.
This culinary trail takes you through Szczawnica’s inns and restaurants with one goal: to show you what authentic lamb really tastes like. This is no ordinary meat — the sheep graze on wild herbs growing in the Pieniny Mountains, giving the dishes a distinctive, delicate flavour and exceptional tenderness.
What can you expect to find on the menu?
From traditional classics to modern interpretations:
A Highland classic: roasted leg of lamb that melts in your mouth.
A modern twist: burgers and dumplings filled with pulled lamb.
As you explore Szczawnica, look for venues marked as part of the Lamb Trail. It is a sign that you can enjoy delicious dishes prepared with this exceptional local meat.
