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

Background. The article refers to the motives of the tourist activities undertaken by seniors form the FAN association. The aim of this study is to investigate the situation based on the opinion of two senior sections members of an association dedicated to sport promotion in the Lower Silesia. Material and methods. A short presentation of the association activity is followed by an analysis of the survey responses. The research was performed among 68 seniors. The questions concerned four main topics: the respondents’ personal status and physical condition, the preferred forms of recreational activity, the main purposes of travelling and tourist motivations, and, finally, the most important factors inhibiting the responders’ tourist activity. The group was also asked to assess the tourist offer existing on the local market in Lower Silesia, and especially to emphasise factors that should be changed. Results. The motivations of the senior tourists in the opinion of the interrogated group are different. The most popular form of tourist activity is the sightseeing excursions although the active forms like bicycling, Nordic walking or just walking are very welcomed as well. No matter the form the most frequent motivation reflects the search for the new experience and practising hobby. The other results are quite encouraging – no financial and health problems are pointed among the obstacles since 78% of the group are pleased with its health conditions. The threat may be the lack of the tourist offer dedicated exclusively for this target group and financial support. Conclusions. The tourist motivations of the seniors are different but clearly expressed and their recognition may serve as a good background for the well prepared tourist offer.
