Gmina Lądek-Zdrój

Gmina Lądek-Zdrój is an administrative municipality in Kłodzko County in southwestern Poland, consisting of the main town and nine surrounding villages. The area combines a historic spa town with rural settlements spread across the hilly terrain of the region.

Thermal springs in this area have been in use since 1241, and the town received municipal rights from Duke Henry IV Probus in 1282. These early developments established it as a spa destination.

The municipality is part of the European Route of Historic Thermal Towns and maintains spa traditions visible in its surviving sanatoriums and treatment facilities. This heritage shapes how the place looks and functions today.

Municipal services are available from Rynek 31 in Lądek-Zdrój, where visitors can obtain information and assistance. Since it is a spread-out municipality, allow time to explore the different villages and terrain.

Between 1949 and 1950, this area provided temporary shelter to Greek and Macedonian refugees fleeing the Greek Civil War. This lesser-known chapter in postwar history left a lasting mark on the community.
