This article deals with the character and role of spa tourism in the Sudetes region, both in Poland and the Czech Republic. The present state and changes of the spa offer on both sides of the border are described here as well. The differences in the development of the Czech and Silesian part of the Sudetes arose in the middle ages already. The Silesian mineral springs used for curative purposes have been used from the 13th century. The oldest spas (Lądek Zdrój and Cieplice) were built next to them. Then, some other spas appeared and in the 18th century there were also Świeradów, Stary Zdrój, Jedlina Zdrój, Kudowa-Zdrój and Duszniki Zdrój. The Czech spas began to develop later. The oldest one is Janské Lázně which came into existence in the 17th century, next to a spring popular already in the middle ages; the spring in Velké Losiny was used for curative purposes in the 16th century. In the 18th century, Lázně Libverda Spa was created and at the turn of 17th and 18th centuries, Kuks spa existed for some short time. The other spas came into being in the 19th century already with the famous Lázně Jeseník created by the pioneer of hydrotherapy Vincez Priessnitz. The spas on the Polish side are now usually bigger and with richer accommodation. The majority of them are of urban structure. The Czech spas are smaller with the prevailing tourism function. Despite this, the offer of spa treatments there is much richer but their cost is at least twice the price of those treatments in Poland. The accommodation price is as a rule more expensive too. The price differences reflect also the spas standard and accessibility
