Krynica-Zdrój, Spa resort in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Krynica-Zdrój is a spa town in southern Lesser Poland Voivodeship, set among the forested hills of the Beskids mountain range. The center consists of parkland with drinking pavilions, sanatoriums from different periods, and a central resort district that stretches along a gentle valley.
The finding of healing springs in the 17th century gradually turned the village, first recorded in 1547, into a visited health resort. Official recognition as a spa came in the late 19th century, establishing the town as an important center for water treatments in the region.
The town draws its name from the Slavic word for spring, reflecting the mineral water sources found throughout the resort area. Visitors carry their own bottles to fill at the public drinking pavilions scattered across the spa grounds.
Most facilities sit in the valley floor and are within walking distance, while hiking paths and ski runs begin higher up in the surrounding hills. Therapeutic treatments usually require prior consultation with on-site medical staff.
A local painter created hundreds of works depicting the town and its surroundings during the socialist period. His paintings, often made on cardboard and scrap paper, have since gained international attention and can be seen in several galleries.
