The Cieplice Health Resort (“Uzdrowisko Cieplice” Sp. z o.o.) continues the centuries-old tradition of using natural raw materials for therapy. Balneological treatment has been conducted continuously since 1281, thus the Cieplice Health Resort is the oldest resort of this kind in Poland. Cieplice Śląskie Zdrój, which nowadays belongs to Jelenia Góra, had been an autonomous health resort until 1976 and had an enormous influence on the tourism development in the Karkonosze region. It is famous from its springs (from 17 to 60 degrees Celsius hot) of sulphuric and high-basic mineral water, which is highly effective in treating illnesses of the body motor organs, the urinary and circulatory systems and the eyesight.

Śnieżka – mountain on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland, the most prominent point of the Silesian Ridge in the Karkonosze Mountains-1603 metres,

Karpacz is an ideal starting point for visiting tourist attractions in the surrounding areas. The town lies almost at the heart of the region that is why nearly the same distances separate it from attractions located in western and eastern part of the Giant Mountains. It is not far to Jelenia Góra and Jelenia Góra Valley (Kotlina Jeleniogórska) where a picturesque route called the Valley of Palaces and Gardens goes. There are so many attractions and everyone can find something for themselves. Some of visitors will probably come back, because one trip is not enough!
