Among the many attractions that Duszniki-Zdrój have to offer, the fountain illuminated with colors occupies a special place. Moreover, thanks to its great popularity, it began to be recognized even as one of the symbols of the city. See what the fountain in Duszniki attracts tourists and when it is available.

What is the Colorful Fountain in Duszniki Zdroj famous for?

The colorful Fountain in Duszniki is known primarily for light and musical shows, during which it flashes with a whole lot of colors, while dancing to the rhythm of music. At the same time, it can be considered one of the highest in Poland — its streams reach up to 45 meters.

Where did the Colorful Fountain come from? Duszniki-Zdrój, after the discovery of medicinal mineral waters at the end of the 18th century, quickly gained the status of a popular health resort and began to develop even more intensively in this direction. The previously built hydrohealing pavilions, the Mineral Water Pump Room and the Zdrojowy Theatre were also joined after a short time by a palm house and the Zdrojowy Park, which, thanks to its perfectly maintained greenery, gave respite to the guests visiting Duszniki-Zdrój. The fountain, today called colorful, like the other two, was supposed to complement the landscape of the park. It was built in 1905, and thanks to its large size and picturesque location, it quickly became one of the most visited attractions of the spa. This has not changed to this day — until now the Colorful Fountain is of great importance for the city. Angina without it would be much poorer.
