The official opening of the salt graduation tower took place on Tuesday, March 1. City Hall:

The Bolesławiec salt graduation tower uses organic brine from Zabłocie, a spa town. Zabłocie brine has proven therapeutic properties and the world’s highest iodine content—875 times more than seawater. Breathing air saturated with this brine for one hour is equivalent to spending three days by the sea.

What do you think? Will you use it? We invite you to join the discussion.


Let us remind you. During the November session of the Bolesławiec City Council, Mayor Piotr Roman informed councillors that construction work was under way on the Bolesławiec salt graduation tower. He also said that a supply of brine had been secured for the entire following year.

“At a time of rising numbers of illnesses and so-called long COVID, it is undoubtedly extremely important to use such a graduation tower properly,” P. Roman added last November.

We had in fact already reported on the matter last summer. At the time, we wrote:

Great news for those who, for various reasons, will not go to the seaside this summer to breathe the exceptionally healthy air. A brine graduation tower will be built in Bolesławiec, which will certainly help both people suffering, for example, from thyroid diseases and those who have overcome COVID-19.

About 20 people will be able to use the facility at one time. What is more, visitors will be able to quench their thirst at the tower with healthy Bolesławiec spring water.

Where was it built?

As many as three locations were considered. Ultimately, the choice fell on the park grounds, right next to the building of the Municipal Public Library – Knowledge Centre.
