Szczawno-Zdroj: Trójgarb 778 m n.p.m. z wieżą widokową
The Wałbrzych Mountains define the setting of Szczawno-Zdrój — wooded ridges and broad, rolling foothills give this Lower Silesian spa town a distinctly upland character. Trójgarb, at 778 metres, is the highest summit of the range and is named for its three humps; a 2018 observation tower stands on its summit. Szczawno-Zdrój developed as a health resort around mineral waters and retains the formal Spa Park and historic treatment buildings associated with that tradition. The town lies beside Wałbrzych, near Poland’s border with Czechia, where walking routes extend through the forested hills. Trójgarb’s tower links the resort’s landscaped core with the wider terrain of the Sudetes.

Few towns in Lower Silesia have a history as closely tied to therapeutic mineral springs as Szczawno-Zdrój. In the foothills of the Sudetes beside Wałbrzych, this established health resort is known for acidic mineral waters, reflected in its Polish name. Once called Bad Salzbrunn under Prussian and later German rule, it developed around spa treatment and retains a formal spa park, promenade buildings and 19th-century resort architecture. Szczawno-Zdrój still has the compact, leafy character of a Polish uzdrowisko, where treatment facilities remain part of daily town life.
