The tradition of Polish health spas dates back to the 13th century. Deposits of therapeutic mineral waters and therapeutic mud allow many disorders to be treated in Poland.
Polish spas are not only for people with health problems, but also for those who seek peace and quiet for resting.
All year round, more than 40 localities offer a gentle climate, picturesque landscapes, charming boarding houses and modern sanatoriums as well as a high standard of treatment. The main role of Polish health spas is to provide packaged treatments that include accommodation at a sanatorium, board, medical care and physiotherapy. The cost of such treatment is US$30 to US$50 a day, depending on the sanatorium's standard.

Health resorts also offer excellent conditions for active recreation -- biking routes, indoor swimming pools, and tourist routes for hiking. The extensive spa parks, which boast many rare plant species, also include pumprooms for drinking mineral water, and band shells.
Famous names in Polish medicine work as diagnosticians in the health resorts. The medical facilities have been modernized and fitted with state-of-the-art medical and rehabilitation equipment. It is easy to combine a stay at a boarding house with treatment.
Krynica, the gem of Polish spas, is the most famous, internationally renowned health resort of the region. There are many historical spa facilities such as the "Jan" pump room, Stary Dom (Old House), Park Zdrojowy (Spa Park) and a number of wooden pensions.
