The article concerns railway access to spas of two voivodeships in the southern part of Poland. The author conducted surveys in spas to identify traits that in the eyes of the patients are developmental factors of the railway. The content of railway timetables in terms of travel time to spas and frequency of connections was also analyzed. The idea of an original typology of health resorts is being developed in terms of accessibility by rail. Four types of spas were distinguished: neighborly communication, poor reachability, unused opportunity and tourist expansion.
