Długopole-Zdrój health resort
Długopole-Zdrój is the smallest health resort in the region, and at the same time the most charming. At least many people think so. We are inclined to agree. It is not very old, and this is because the alum mine was originally created here. The year of its foundation is 1563. Alum was used in dyeing, it is the element that makes the color bite into the material. Thanks to this, the robes of rich people did not look like faded rags after the first wash. The mine collapsed over time, which was caused by water. Over time, however, it was discovered that this water has a characteristic taste and is worth using.
The Długopole-Zdrój health resort has three sources of mineral waters. These are the waters of Emilia, Kazimierz and Renata. It is bicarbonate oxides with clinically relevant content of iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium. They are distinguished by a pleasant taste and stimulate digestion. They treat liver diseases, diabetes, gastric diseases, rheumatism, cardiovascular diseases, neurosis and asthma. There are 3 health resort hospitals for patients: Mieszko, Ondraszek, Dąbrówka, Fortuna sanatorium and a spa park with a pump room. An interesting treatment attraction in Długopol are the so-called dry carbon dioxide baths. This is a unique treatment that improves circulation and lowers pressure used in cardiac diseases.

Where to eat and sleep? Accommodation in Długopol - Zdrój
After leisurely walks in the charming park, we stopped at the Eliza Manor, where not only comfortable beds were waiting for us, but also games and fun. It reminded me of the time when ping-pong was played at school. There was also a very pleasant relaxation in the pool and sauna, and there is also a SPA area for those who want to relax.
They feed very tasty in Eliza's Manor. We tasted local trout from the Kłodzko Basin. He was delicious and melted in his mouth. Potato pancakes with Hungarian or mushroom sauce are also delicious. Smoked meats are also smoked on site, which can be seen when eating breakfast or ordering a board of meats.
