An old town

Piwniczna-Zdrój, a small spa town, is tucked into the valley. It has a long history as it was founded by King Casimir III the Great in 1348. It was supposed to guard the trade route which ran from Hungary to Poland thanks to which it developed significantly. Merchants went through the town transporting, among others, famous Hungarian wine which was to reach the royal tables at the Wawel Castle. Great craftsmen and talented folk artists worked there for ages creating this beautiful settlement. At present their heritage can be admired in the small but interesting Regional Museum. You should visit the place to participate in some regional events during which the folklore of Piwniczna is displayed or pop into local restaurants to taste the cuisine of Black Highlanders or Lemkos.

Ice-cream for dessert!

This charming town offers a lot as far as regional restaurants, cafes or ice-cream parlours with sweet delicacies are concerned. One of them is Magdalenka Ice-cream Parlour which has managed to blend into the landscape of Piwniczna-Zdrój. It spoils its guests with ice-cream, pastries and other kinds of desserts. You can enjoy delicious ice-cream of various flavours (made with the use of top quality products) while sipping equally tasty coffee prepared in a variety of ways. The ones who prefer different beverages, will find a selection of freshly squeezed juices there.

Production process

Magdalenka is a family company which places great importance on quality. Ice-cream is made in a vertical freezer which is the oldest machine used in the process of freezing this delicacy. During special shows, people may peek at the ice-cream making process and listen to the staff talking about the whole process and the machines.

Treats without allergens

Magdalenka carefully chooses ingredients out of which ice-cream and other treats are made. They are always fresh and come from local suppliers. The information on all the allergens is available to guests. Moreover, Magdalenka offers a separate menu for people with food intolerances – without gluten and lactose.
