## About

Krynica-Zdrój is a spa town in the Beskid Sądecki mountains of southern Poland. It is associated with mineral-water treatments and the self-taught painter Nikifor.

## Notes

Official qualifier Zdrój added in 2002. Krynica remains a familiar short form; do not confuse the mountain spa with Krynica Morska on the Baltic. Reference pages checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krynica-Zdrój ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krynica-Zdrój.
