:''"Rabka" redirects here. "Rąbka", on the Baltic coast, is a district of Łeba.'' Rabka-Zdrój , usually referred to as Rabka, is a spa town in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. It is located between Kraków and Zakopane in a valley on the northern slopes of the Gorce Mountains, where the rivers Poniczanka and Słonka join the river Raba (). In 2008 it had a population of 13,052. There is a substantial population of Gorals in the town. Rabka was always known for its salt-works, and from 1864 became a popular spa town. The first treatment centre for children was established a few years later and continues to this day. Hydrotherapy continues to be utilised in local hospital and sanatoriums. During World War II, the Germans established a Nazi police school in the town,〔Michał Rapta , Wojciech Tupta , Grzegorz Moskal.

The school and its surroundings were the place of a series of atrocities before it was eventually closed down as the war approached its end and the Germans left.〔Robin O'Neil.
