3:16 A fountain with frogs
There is a legend related to the frog, a certain Berlin doctor found a dead but perfectly preserved frog in the local stream. After examining the chemical composition of the stream water, it turned out that the water has radial properties. Today, the frog has become a symbol of Świeradów. The frog fountain, which was put into use in 2010, has also become an attraction. It is said that the frogs from the fountain bring: health, wealth, happiness and love, they only need to be caressed. The frogs are therefore highly smoothed.

On the spa promenade you can see a characteristic half-timbered house. Houses with the half-timbered technique began to be built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Originally, they were built by craftsmen who had their factories (e.g. weaving) in them.

The newer part was built in 1974-1978. The church was built with donations from parishioners and patients as well as donations collected by the parish priest Władysław Dziegiel.

The station was put into service on October 31, 1909 with the commissioning of the railway from Mirsk. The station served as a passenger until February 11, 1996, and in 1998 it was completely closed. Since 2012, the former station has been owned by the city, while on March 1, 2019, the Municipal Center for Culture, Activity and Promotion of the Commune "Culture Station", called the City Heart, began its activity in the building of the former railway station. The revitalization of the facility and adjacent infrastructure cost about PLN 6 million, which the city government obtained from the European Union funds. The area next to the facility has been arranged in such a way that in the future, trains from Mirsko will come to the town. For a long time, the local governments of these three communes have been trying to renovate the railway line: Gryfów Śl. - Mirsk - Świeradów-Zdrój to start railway connections there.
