If you want a place with traditional wooden charm, Gorący Potok baths are perfect. With over 20 outdoor thermal pools surrounded by pine trees, from peaceful soaking areas to hydromassage jets, there’s always a spot to relax, no matter the season.
Located in the Podhale region, Goracy Potok is an open-air thermal complex just 20 minutes from Zakopane, known for its naturally sulphur-rich waters and scenic mountain views. The complex features over 20 outdoor pools, including jacuzzis, geysers, and slides, along with wellness areas offering saunas, mud baths and beauty treatments.




Gorący Potok, unlike many other Zakopane thermal baths, uses untreated, undiluted sulphur geothermal water that works wonders for your overall wellbeing. You’ll notice its distinctive scent right away because that’s the sulphur doing its healing work.
Whether it’s snowing or sunny, there’s always a perfect place to soak. With more than 20 outdoor pools surrounded by wooden decks and pine trees, some with massage jets and waterfalls, Gorący Potok feels nothing short of a mountain retreat.
Gorący Potok is one of the few thermal complexes where both you and your kids can truly relax together. Children can splash safely in shallow mini pools within the dedicated Kids’ zone, while you unwind in nearby warm pools.
What makes Goracy Potok special is its authentic highland character. Everything is built from wood and surrounded by nature, creating a cozy and peaceful environment. It’s the kind of place that feels genuinely local, perfect for slow, mindful relaxation.

The Spa & Wellness zone at Gorący Potok combines highland tradition with modern comfort, creating a space to recharge. Here, you can unwind in dry or steam saunas, take part in special sauna ceremonies inside the “Gawra” sauna, or enjoy massages from physiotherapists.

Within the Spa & Wellness zone, you can enjoy mineral-rich mud baths made from Czarny Dunajec mud. These natural treatments nourish and firm your skin, offering both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits that leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
The Children’s Zone is a paradise for young visitors and one of the most vibrant parts of the complex. Open during the summer, it’s filled with fun attractions designed for safe play. Your kids can enjoy water slides and splash areas while you relax in nearby saunas and jacuzzis.
Inside the Gorący Potok complex, you’ll find the Beef Master restaurant—a real treat for food lovers. It specializes in premium meats, especially expertly grilled steaks such as Uruguay Steak, Porter House, and Bawetta, making it the perfect place to unwind after a relaxing soak.
If you’d like to stay longer, Camp Gorący Potok is the only campsite in Poland located right beside a thermal complex. You can choose from 76 pitches, each with water and electricity connections, and access to a kitchen, laundry room, drying area, and playroom.
To balance the warmth of the pools, step into the snow room or try the cold plunge barrels. Alternating between hot and cold stimulates circulation, aids recovery, and leaves you completely refreshed.
To complete your experience, stop by the wellness centre for a soothing treatment. You can choose from massages, facials, body scrubs, or sauna rituals enriched with mineral-based products. It’s the ideal way to wrap up your day and leave Gorący Potok feeling refreshed.
Gorący Potok Baths operate year-round, offering plenty of time to relax in the pools, saunas, and spa areas.
