A town on a trail

Piwniczna-Zdrój is a small town situated in the heart of the picturesque Poprad River Valley in the Beskid Sądecki. It is ideal for holidays, a weekend stay or business meetings. Omnipresent peace lets us relax and a mountainous area provides numerous attractions.

In the centre of the town we will find a small square with a historic layout and buildings. The history of Piwniczna-Zdrój dates back to the 14th century – it is when Casimir III the Great established a town on this land which was supposed to protect the trade route leading from Hungary to the capital of Poland. By the Square, there is the small Regional Museum and a few restaurants.

A spa by the Poprad River

However, the most valuable treasure of this land is definitely mineral water which is present in the area thanks to a specific topography of the Beskid Sądecki. Under the mountains, in between the rocks, water saturates with various minerals and elements and flows out within

The Square is crossed by tourist routes which lead to the most beautiful corners of the commune. Węgielnik Hill, from which you can see the whole valley, towers over the town. Standing at the top of it, you will also see war trenches. From the town, we can also reach Eliaszówka (1,023 m) following the steps of war couriers and smugglers, Hala Łabowska (1,061 m), which used to be a hideout for the underground army, and the highest mountain of the Beskid Sądecki – Radziejowa (1,266 m). Piwniczna is surrounded by small villages scattered over the slopes of the Beskid Sądecki. The whole commune is the land of Black Highlanders – people of rich traditions who created a delicious cuisine, full of cheese and mutton, and exceptional handicraft including famous ‘furmańskie’ gloves (a carter’s gloves).

the borders of the town and the commune in order to serve its healing properties to citizens and tourists. If we add the climate of the region, fresh air and ubiquitous greenness to it, we will get a wonderful resort where every minute spent is priceless.

Right at the foot of Kicarz

Świetlana Villa is located in Leśna Street, at the foot of Kicarz (703 m) by the Poprad River. It is only 500 m away from the Spa Park and 700 m from the Mineral Water Pump Room. A similar distance has to be covered to get to the Square where guests will find interesting historic sites, restaurants and cafes. Along the Poprad, which

flows at the foot of Kicarz, hiking and cycling trails run. Although the villa is close to numerous attractions, its surroundings are incredibly peaceful and green and provide comfort, privacy and solace. The building itself is historic – it dates back to 1937.
