Spa places in Goczałkowice-Zdrój centre on the Spa Park with its salt-water tower and a timber pump room from 1862, in one of the region's two spa towns.
Goczałkowice-Zdrój grew around a brine borehole and is one of only two spa towns in the Silesian Voivodeship, next to Ustroń. A quiet walk through the park suits a trip for two or a solo break.
Start at the Spa Park, a protected landscape garden laid out after 1850. After works in 2010-2015 visitors find shelters, a salt-water inhalation tower and tables for chess. A second, shorter entry looks at the same greenery as part of the spa grounds for patients.
In 1856 Prussian mining officials were looking for salt here and struck brine at a depth of around 616 metres. Spa buildings went up between 1860 and 1862, and guests arrived for the first cure in June 1862. From those days survives the old pump room at Uzdrowiskowa 43, a timber building that is now a pavilion in the park. Other spa places of the region are in the category spa towns in Silesia, and the whole village is covered under things to do in Goczałkowice-Zdrój.
Two places hold spa status: Goczałkowice-Zdrój and Ustroń.
Walks among shelters, by the inhalation tower and chess tables, plus a timber pavilion that was once the pump room of 1862.
