The Inhalatorium in Szczawnica is one of the most famous buildings in the traditional spa town. It was built between 1934 and 1936 and is picturesquely located in the Upper Spa Park. With its modern architecture and long history, it remains a landmark of the town to this day. The sanatorium specializes in the treatment of respiratory diseases. The brine inhalations, which moisturize the airways and support regeneration, are particularly well-known. In addition, physiotherapy, balneotherapy, and other spa treatments are offered. Thanks to its quiet location, the clean air of the Pieniny Mountains, and the healing mineral springs, numerous spa guests find rest and new strength here every year. The Inhalatorium combines historical spa tradition with modern health care and is an important part of the Szczawnica spa resort.

Super good oven-baked trout with herb butter, smoked trout pierogi are a hit. Delicious regional beer. During lunchtime, it's hard to get a table because there are so few of them (7), but it's worth the wait because the food is truly delicious and reasonably priced - trout with baked potatoes, smoked trout pierogi, 2 beers - 142 PLN - worth a try - we'll definitely be back ✌️

A very well-known spa town in the Pieniny Mountains (southern Poland). There are numerous bike and mountain bike rentals here. And the potential is enormous, whether to Slovakia via the beautiful Dunajec Gorge or to Radziejowa Mountain, which stands at 1,266 meters and offers a magnificent panorama. On the local mountain, Palenica, at 722 meters, there are accessible mountain bike descents on singletrack. You can then take the chairlift up.

This year, we have a long and hot summer in Poland, everyone is looking for refreshment in their own way. If there is no water curtain, you can use the fountain. On my walking route through Szczawnica, I did not encounter a single water curtain. WW

I've known this place for many years and enjoy visiting it whenever I'm in Szczawnica. The dinners are delicious, the menu is varied, and there's no long wait after ordering. The only problem is the queue outside the entrance, which forms on summer weekends. The interior is simply furnished, especially through the paintings on the walls, harking back to a bygone era. WW

A really nice place. Anyone who likes fish and especially fresh trout is in good hands at Dobra Ryba, right on the river, there is music, you sit outside, order inside and I have rarely eaten such fresh, deliciously prepared trout.
