Accommodation in Tarnowo Podgórne
In Tarnowo Podgórne, facilities offering warm geothermal water and brine inhalation meet walking trails, a historic parish church and a seasonal ice rink. This makes the town appealing to people with different interests: you can include relaxation, exercise and cultural discoveries in your travel plans without centring your stay on just one activity.

Thermal Baths and Brine Inhalation
Tarnowskie Termy is a sports and leisure centre in Tarnowo Podgórne. The pools use warm geothermal water, and swimming outdoors is also possible in winter. If you don’t want to plan your trip solely around summer activities, this offers a special option for the colder months. Check the operating conditions before your visit.
Tarnowskie Tężnie offers a different form of relaxation. This tourist and recreational facility is part of Termalny Park Zdrowia and is used for brine inhalation. In the enclosed inhalatorium, an aerosol session lasts 15 to 25 minutes, and no more than 15 people can be there at the same time. The duration gives you a specific timeframe for a single session, while the limited capacity may also be relevant when planning your visit.
The complex also includes a green space with a flower meadow, sand and a pond. Wooden walkways across the pond invite you to take a stroll. This means you can also combine a visit to the graduation towers with time outdoors: the inhalatorium, green space and walking trails offer different ways to spend time within the same complex.
A Winter Activity and Equipment on Site
Lodowisko Misiałek adds an ice rink as another activity. The rink is air-conditioned; one payment lets you skate for as long as you like. Visitors can use almost 600 pairs of high-quality branded skates in a full range of sizes, as well as free helmets. Check the available equipment before your visit, as the stock may change.
Ice skating is quite different from the warm pools and brine inhalation: it’s another way to make your stay active. This comparison can help with planning if you want to choose between water-based activities, walks and skating, depending on the season or your personal interests. It’s a good idea to check the conditions on site in advance.
Church and Discoveries Around Town
The All Saints Parish Church preserves a main altar dating from the late 18th century. It contains a painting from Poznań Cathedral (Dom in Poznań), created around 1665. The painting connects the church in Tarnowo Podgórne with a work from the city of Poznań; its age and provenance are both notable. If you’re interested in sacred art, the altar offers a specific starting point for planning the cultural part of your stay.
The town’s streets and lanes also become part of an experience in TROPEM LWA. This tourist game takes participants around Tarnowo Podgórne, where they solve prepared tasks. Rather than focusing on just one place to visit, the emphasis is on exploring the town itself. The church and the game therefore appeal to different interests: one draws your attention to a historic work of art, while the other involves completing tasks along a route through the town.
