Krynica Zdroj has operated as a health resort for over 200 years, and is the birthplace of Polish hydrotherapy. It was here that one of the founders of Polish balneology, professor of the Jagiellonian University – Joseph Dietl practiced in XIX century. It was here where the greatest Polish writers, poets and painters used to spent their time and repair their health. Krynica was the most fashionable health resort among the elites of interwar Poland. But Krynica isn’t just about history – it’s a 21st modern database of thermal treatments. A renowned spa resort which successfully combines tradition with modernity, where all services are provided to you at the highest level.

Krynica’s mineral waters are a country treasure. Krynica’s mineral waters are used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, anemia, and metabolic diseases: atherosclerosis, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, gout and urolithiasis. Krynica’s highly carbonated mineral water is used not only as drinking cures (krenotherapy) but also it is used for medicinal and mineral acid-carbon baths. Krynica also has the only dry bath of the natural gas carbon dioxide in the country, which can even be used by patients with heart disorders and blood circulation disorders.

Krynica offers more than 200 options of accommodation but we want to highlight 2 of them:
