Water temperature…
Polańczyk is one of Poland's most pretty health resorts, situated on a large peninsula extending into Lake Solina. Officially recognized as a spa town since 1974, it specializes in treating respiratory and circulatory conditions using its local mineral water springs. The unique geography of the peninsula ensures that striking panoramic views of the 'Bieszczady Sea' and the surrounding rolling hills are visible from almost everywhere in town. The atmosphere here is more tranquil than in nearby Solina, making it a favorite for those seeking wellness and relaxation. The shoreline is lined with sanatoriums, guesthouses, and well-kept parks first-rate for leisurely walks. Sailors particularly love Polańczyk, which hosts several marinas and sailing clubs, and the local taverns often feature live shanty music performances. Visitors shouldn't miss the viewpoint on Kabajka hill for the best sunsets over the water. The historic Church of Our Lady of Beautiful Love, with its 17th-century icon, is a key cultural landmark. The best time to visit is from late spring to early autumn for outdoor activities and spa treatments.
