A new health attraction in a Polish village. It's not about a graduation tower at all.

A brand new attraction is appearing on the tourist map of Małopolska: the mineral baths in Słona, near Zaklinacz. This small village in Tarnów County, although not designated a spa, will offer therapeutic treatments.

Mineral baths in the Polish countryside

The new facility will offer healing waters, which are often used by seniors. Until now, they've found them primarily in sanatoriums, but now they won't have to commit to a long stay. A visit to the mineral baths in Słona is enough to receive at least a semblance of specialized treatment.

The mineral baths are located in an aesthetically pleasing facility that will serve multiple functions, primarily recreational, leisure, and health. The facility will utilize the medicinal waters found in the village.

The water is contained in a special basin, which is knee-deep. It can be entered barefoot. This therapy is said to be effective in treating rheumatic and neurological conditions, skin disorders, and diseases of the nervous and circulatory systems.

"We managed to reach an agreement with the Mineral Water Plant operating in Słona, which has all the required permits and tests confirming its health benefits. We piped the water to the bathrooms and will be purchasing it from them. This way, all procedures were completed much faster, and we didn't have to drill our own well, conduct tests, or apply for a production license, as is the case in Ciężkowice," explained Dawid Chrobak, mayor of Zakliczyn.

Of course, it won't end there and there will be more attractions.

Health attractions in Słona

In the village of Słona, we'll also have access to a massive salt graduation tower , the largest covered structure of its kind in the region and the focal point of the bathrooms. We'll be able to easily sit next to it to relax and inhale. The aforementioned water will also flow down the blackthorn branches of the graduation tower. It's intended to alleviate symptoms of respiratory illnesses, among other things. There's also a shelter on site that can serve as an amphitheater, a restroom building, and an outdoor gym.

The baths are scheduled to open soon, and admission will be free. This project is part of a larger investment called "Źródlany Szlak" (Spring Trail). Its effects will be visible in five neighboring municipalities in the Foothills, including Gromnik, Pleśna, and Rzepiennik Strzyżewski.
