background

winter

Piwniczna-Zdrój is a spa and winter sport in Poland. There are lifts and cable cars to the surrounding peaks, from which a beautiful view over the Beskydy mountains to High Tatras results.

The town was founded in 1348 as the property of the Polish crown to secure the trade route from Poland to Hungary along the Poprad in place of an older settlement, Piwniczna Szyja, and given town rights. Hanko, a citizen from nearby, was the founding administrator Nowy Sącz ordered. The city flourished through the Hungarian trade over the next centuries. In the course of the first partition of Poland in 1772, it came to the Habsburgs. The medicinal springs were discovered in the 19th century. In 1874 the city was connected to the railway network. It has been visited by spa guests since 1884. After the First and Second World War, this city became Polish again.
