Długopole-Zdrój is located in the south of the Kłodzko basin . Its location in the valley of the Glatzer Neisse on the edge of the Habelschwerdter Mountains offers a healthy climate and a relaxing landscape. It is roughly halfway between the villages of Długopole Górne and Długopole Dolne .

history

Bad Langenau was a district of Niederlangenau until 1945, which was already known in the 14th century. The first mineral spring in Bad Langenau was discovered during the construction of an alum plant in 1563, but spa operations did not begin until 1802. In 1876 a second spring was found and in 1909 a third was drilled. The carbonated sources also contain thorium and radium . They are prescribed as drinking and bathing cures for heart and vascular diseases as well as for nervous disorders. The moor, which also contains radium, has proven itself in the treatment of rheumatism and gout.

The area of the later baths was owned by the city of Habelschwerdt until 1839 and was then always privately owned until 1945. The frequent changes of ownership were disadvantageous for its economic development, so that it could not reach the popularity and size of the other Glatzer baths ( Altheide , Landeck , Kudowa , Reinerz) .

As a result of the Second World War , Bad Langenau fell to Poland in 1945 - like almost all of Silesia - and was renamed Długopole-Zdrój . The German population was expelled in 1946. Some of the new residents were displaced from eastern Poland . 1975 to 1998 Długopole-Zdrój belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship (German Waldenburg ).
