The brine used is drawn from depths exceeding 500 meters.
The water contains a high concentration of iodine, which is significantly higher than that found in the Baltic Sea air.
The structure relies on blackthorn branches to provide the surface area required for brine evaporation.
Dębowiec is historically recognized for its long-standing tradition of salt extraction dating back to the 19th century.
The Dębowiec salt graduation tower (Tężnia solankowa) is an outdoor health facility utilizing high-mineralization iodine-bromine brine sourced from local deep-well springs. The structure relies on thorn-covered walls that facilitate the evaporation of brine, creating a microclimate rich in aerosol particles with therapeutic properties for the respiratory system. The facility is integrated into a larger park area designed for outdoor recreation and health-focused leisure. The brine used originates from local boreholes known as 'Dębowczanka.' The installation functions as an open-air inhalatorium, designed to mimic maritime air conditions. It serves as a central feature of the recreational zone in the village of Dębowiec.
The elevated viewing deck provides a clear perspective of the structure against the backdrop of the park greenery.
Bring a bottle to collect the local mineral water available at the site's pump room.
Plan for a leisurely walk through the surrounding park after your inhalation session.
Dress in layers, as the area around the tower is often cooler and more humid due to the constant brine mist.
Do not expect a high-intensity workout facility; this is a place for passive health benefits and rest.
The graduation tower is typically operational only during the warmer months, generally from spring to autumn, depending on weather conditions.
Avoid running or loud behavior to maintain the therapeutic, quiet environment; do not touch the brine-soaked branches.
