Polańczyk, Spa village in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland
Polańczyk is a health resort in Subcarpathian Voivodeship situated on a peninsula along the western shore of Lake Solina. The village combines therapeutic facilities with a natural setting surrounded by forests and mountain terrain.
The village has been documented since 1580 and was long administered by noble families. Its current character as a health resort developed in recent times and transformed the settlement significantly.
The waters here are used for healing treatments, and visitors can see how the place functions as a health center in the local landscape. The infrastructure is entirely oriented toward wellness, shaping the daily routine and rhythm of the village.
Visits are best planned during warmer months when the surroundings are easily accessible and nature is active. Sturdy footwear is important, as the village sits on elevated terrain with forest trails nearby.
The village was originally on mainland terrain but was transformed into a peninsula by the formation of Solina Lake between 1961 and 1968. This geographical change unexpectedly connected the settlement to water and landscape in new ways.
