Few towns in Lesser Poland have a history as closely tied to mineral-spring treatment as Rabka-Zdrój. Set in the foothills of the Gorce Mountains, it stands where the Poniczanka and Słonka streams join to form the Raba River. Its development as a health resort began in the 19th century, drawing on saline waters containing iodine and bromine; Rabka remains particularly associated with care for children. The Władysław Orkan Museum, housed in a historic wooden church, recalls the folk culture of the surrounding highland region. Spa Park and the town’s sanatorium architecture reinforce its distinct resort character. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Lesser Poland connects regionally.
