A former spa resort hidden in the forests of Kozí Chrbty
Kvetnica is a recreational area of Poprad located in the forests of the Kozie chrbty mountain range. Its modern history began in 1880, when a tourist lodge with an observation tower was built here. Favorable climatic conditions later spurred the development of a health resort and medical facilities focused primarily on respiratory diseases. Today, historic villas, landscaped parks, and original buildings serve as reminders of its spa heritage.
Today, Kvetnica is a popular destination for walking, hiking, and cycling. In the forest park, you’ll find a small lake, the Church of St. Helena, and places to relax. The surrounding trails lead to the Zámčisko archaeological site, to Krížová Hill with the Chapel of the Resurrection, to the game reserve, and along the traces of former copper and silver mining.
