Termy Cieplickie (Jelenia Góra)

Termy Cieplickie in Jelenia Góra is a historic thermal spa complex in the Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój district of Jelenia Góra in Lower Silesia, Poland, drawing on fluoride-siliceous thermal waters that have been in use since medieval times and that support one of Poland's oldest continuously operating spa traditions, with documented thermal use dating back to at least the 16th century when the Schaffgotsch noble family developed the springs into a fashionable Silesian resort. The fluoride-siliceous mineral composition of the Cieplice waters, associated with the granite geology of the Sudeten Mountains, is valued within the established Polish thermal tradition. The surrounding Jelenia Góra landscape of Sudeten Mountains, Karkonosze National Park with its unique subalpine peatbog ecosystem, and the picturesque lower Silesian town of Jelenia Góra with its arcaded market square and Germanic-Polish architectural heritage creates a richly layered setting for this historic Silesian thermal resort.
