Shortly after his arrival in Nowy Targ,  Edward Morawetz together with a group of his friends made an excursion to the Pieniny Mountains, on which he took his camera. Several stylish photographs were taken presenting the castle in Czorsztyn, Trzy Korony and the Dunajec river rafting. (Photos No. 508, 506, 372, 373) These are the oldest pictures in the Museum's collection which give interesting information about the way of visiting in the past. The rafts of the raftsmen from Pieniny actually did not change in comparison with those times but the fans of the Dunajec rafting are completely different today. The chick however uncomfortable elegance of this exclusive companywhich we can see on the pictures can tell us a lot about this extremely formal and careful way of clothing. Women in long dresses with fashionably though more modest than usually decorated hats, with unhandy little trunks in their hands, men in long coats, supported on canes pose for photographs with the background of the Czorsztyn ruins, rather contented and totally unaware that in a few years the Czorsztyńskie Lake will take over this place. Equally elegant is a group of people "captured" by Morawetz on the tennis court (Photo No. 193).

Such sorties were also practiced by high school students within practical classes in the field. Professor Kazimierz Baran eagerly took his students on history talks about the past of this region. In the picture we can see him with a group of his students on a calciferous rock in Szaflary next to the stone pavilion erected by the Uznański family. (Photo No. 380) Undoubtedly, later the students were to write a paper on the oldest defence setting up of the Podhale region they had seen during the lesson, which was the Szaflary castle defending the border and the trade lane already in the 13th century. In this scenic place it was much easier to imagine the turbulent times of the fortress, the story of a convert Jew who held the castle on lease from the Cistercians and minted forged money in times of Louis I of Hungary or the story of a starost of Cracow, Sędziwoj from Szubin who destroyed and burnt the castle on the King's order.

Many amateur photographs show the people of Nowy Targ taking walks around the Main Square. One could encircle the square walking on cobblestone sidewalks an infinite number of times. Particularly young people excelled at this but staid dwellers took this "lap" eagerly as well on days off work or on Sundays after service. (Photo No. 432, 436, 441, 445, 447) 

Frosty winter days were also a good opportunity to take a walk, even to Kowaniec. On the way one could support themselves on the balustrade of the bridge on the Czarny Dunajec river and with a smile on their face pose for a picture. (Photo No. 455) A sleigh ride was even a better idea and in those modern times it was possible to attach a sleigh to a motor engine. (Photo No. 180)

In the „Falcon” town parties took place, on which not always the fire brigade band played the music, sometimes it was the „Syrena Band” (Photos No. 256, 260).

Nowy Targ in the interwar period became a popular holiday resort. In Kowaniec, a scenic valley in the Gorce mountains, wonderful wooden villas were built in the style corresponding to Witkiewicz as well as modern, bold in style houses like villa "Gorce". Holidaymakers arrived in Kowaniec, summer and scout's camps were organised here. (Photo No. 425) This picture from 1931 presents the participants of a summer camp Freiheit, in which young Jewish people took part. (Photo No. 162)

Water sports were very popular. Fans of canoeing came in large numbers not only to the canoe rafting organised on the Corpus Christi since 1932. Traditionally the Dunajec rafting started before the bridge on the Czarny Dunajec. Also a canoe trip in which young people of Nowy Targ took part started here. (Photo No. 446)
