Krynica-Zdrój

A very famous spa. Particularly in demand in the interwar period, when it was popular among people of merit (e.g. Jan Kiepura). It is distinguished by many interesting buildings from that time, which are considered pearls of spa modernism. It is famous for its mineral waters and is now a large sanatorium treatment centre. The famous primitivist painter Nikifor lived and worked in Krynica. The city is located in the Poprad Landscape Park and is a starting point for trips to the surrounding mountains. Five tourist trails run through Krynica, including the Main Beskid Trail. The city is also one of the largest Polish winter sports centres. Tourists can go skiing, tobogganing and use the ice rink here. Thanks to the cable car to Góra Parkowa and the cable car to Jaworzyna, even less experienced tourists can admire the mountain ranges surrounding Krynica. To the west, we can see the Slovak side of the Tatra Mountains, the Małe Pieniny Mountains slightly west of them, and further north-west Radziejowa and Gorce with Turbacz. In the foreground, Hala Labowska and Runek can be seen. In the north, the forested slopes of the Low Beskids are visible.
