Krynica, the pearl of Polish resorts, is located among mountains, almost in their heart where mineral water springs flow. The commune has been adored by tourists for ages. The resort, which used to be popular among aristocracy, is currently chosen by health visitors, enthusiasts of an active lifestyle, architecture lovers or businesspeople.
Krynica Commune is located in the south of Poland, in Lesser Poland, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies in the place where the Beskid Sądecki and the Low Beskids meet, right at the foot of Jaworzyna Krynicka (1,114 m) and Park Mountain (742m) which is almost in the centre of the town. The seat of the commune is Krynica-Zdrój
– a spa which is surrounded by smaller but equally interesting villages such as Tylicz or Mochnaczka. The location and the landform make Krynica an excellent starting point for those who enjoy spending their free time in an active way. The infrastructure of the place enables doing winter or summer sports. The resort provides numerous attractions and in the surrounding villages, you may find peace and quiet. The commune is crossed by numerous hiking trails including the Main Beskid Trail, cycling and skiing ones too.
The commune can also boast of a rich history. The south of the Beskid Sądecki and the Low Beskids are lands which used to be inhabited by Lemko people. Their
heritage is visible in wooden Orthodox churches, small shrines and roadside crosses. The Wooden Architecture Route of Lesser Poland runs in this area. In the resort itself we can get to know the most famous Lemko of Krynica – Nikifor. We can visit the famous Deptak (a promenade) where great Poles used to walk and admire the works of great architects – villas in the Swiss style or spa buildings. We can see the remains of the Interwar Period when Krynica was the trendiest resort. Krynica-Zdrój can be also called the cultural capital of the region – the Festival of Jan Kiepura or various concerts are held in the Main Mineral Water Pump Room.
Energetyk Sanatorium is located in a quiet part of Krynica, at the foot of Jasiennik (765 m). It is only a few steps from a forest which is full of picturesque paths. It is also a stone’s throw from Park Mountain (742 m) which enchants with its alleys, gazebos, clearings and the renovated PKL Funicular to the top of Park Mountain. Also, it takes 10 minutes to get to Deptak where numerous
attractions are. There is the Old and the New Spa House, the Mineral Water Pump Room, museums, galleries, restaurants and cafes.
