Krynica-Zdroj
Tucked into the wooded valleys of the Beskid Sądecki, Krynica-Zdrój is a place whose character is shaped by its mineral springs. Developed as a health resort in the 19th century, it became one of Poland’s best-known spa towns, with wells and pavilions concentrated around its central promenade. The Old Spa House, a grand historic building on the resort square, reflects the town’s long association with therapeutic stays and social life. Forested ridges rise close to the centre, giving the compact town a distinctly mountain setting. Krynica-Zdrój is also closely associated with Nikifor, the self-taught painter whose work is preserved in the Nikifor Museum.

Farther south, the Dunajec cuts through the Pieniny, while the Tatra Mountains form a highland frontier with Slovakia.
