Over 20 outdoor pools at temperatures ranging from 30°C to 40°C, a non-textile adults-only SPA & Wellness zone (18+) with mud baths using traditional Czarny Dunajec mud, and a quieter, more natural atmosphere than the larger complexes.

What's at Gorący Potok
Gorący Potok — over 20 outdoor natural sulphur pools in Szaflary, 20 minutes from Zakopane.
Natural Sulphur Pools — what makes Gorący Potok unique is the water itself. Over 20 outdoor pools filled with fully natural, untreated sulphur geothermal water sourced directly from the earth — no chemical treatment, no dilution. Temperatures range from 30°C to 40°C across different pools. The mineral composition — sulphur, calcium, magnesium, and trace therapeutic elements — is preserved exactly as it comes from the ground.
Each pool has its own character: the large acclimatisation pool at 37–38°C, a Roman Colosseum-inspired fountain pool, a swim-up bar pool, hydromassage stations, geysers, and waterfalls. All pools are outdoor and open year-round in all weather conditions.
Winter at Gorący Potok — one of the most atmospheric thermal bath experiences in Poland. Natural sulphur steam rises visibly from the outdoor pools as the water meets cold winter air, creating a dramatic mist against snow-covered Tatra Mountain peaks. Open throughout the winter season, including Christmas and New Year.
SPA & Wellness Zone — Grzysno Przyjemność (18+) — an adults-only, fully non-textile zone available as a ticket upgrade. Facilities include dry saunas, steam rooms, a salt graduation tower, granite soaking basins, Jacuzzi, and a relaxation room. Daily sauna ceremonies are included. The highlight is the mud bath using Czarny Dunajec mud — a traditional Podhale therapy known for its skin-nourishing and firming properties, available nowhere else in the Tatra region.
Children's Zone — a dedicated area with shallow pools and water attractions for younger visitors. Seasonal operation: weekends from May to October, and daily throughout July and August.
