Ustron is one of the few spas which have maintained the laid-back atmosphere of an old spa town. At present it has 16 sanatoriums offering excellent conditions for treating patients suffering from difficulties in movement, breathing, nerves and the digestive system.

That said, it must be noted that while it is primarily a health resort, the town nevertheless can offer its visitors a wide range of recreational activities. The numerous well-marked walks in the immediate vicinity take the rambler to the nearby summits of Lipowski Gron (745 m), Rownica (884 m), Mala Czantoria (866 m) and Wielka Czantoria (995 m). You can ride the scenic chair lift to the top of Czantoria for unmatched views of the town and its surrounding slopes and peaks. Another attraction of Czantoria is the 710 m long Summer Toboggan-Run.

There are not many remnants of the town’s past left. The three historic churches remaining today are the wooden St Anna’s Church constructed in 1769, the Roman Catholic Church of St Clement from 1788 and the Protestant Church from 1835. Also worthy of a visit is the Ironworks and Smithy Museum. However, the most unusual draw is Sobieski’s Oak Tree from 1683, and which is believed to have been planted to commemorate King Sobieski’s triumph at Vienna.
