Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Thermal spa city in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Jastrzębie-Zdrój stands in southern Poland near the Czech border, surrounded by industrial centers and former mining facilities.

The settlement transformed from a small village into a notable European health resort in 1862 after the discovery of iodine and bromine springs.

The city played a central role in the formation of the Solidarity movement during the 1980s through significant workers' protests and demonstrations.

The main transportation hub connects residents to neighboring cities through regular bus services and maintains direct routes to Katowice and Rybnik.

The name combines two Polish words: jastrząb meaning hawk and zdrój referring to the natural springs that shaped its early development.
