Konstancin-Jeziorna

Konstancin-Jeziorna is a small town just a few kilometers from Warsaw. You might be surprised that it is a renown health spa. We will start our visit in the health spa park. Two small rivers run through it so there is a need for many small bridges. The bigger river is called Jeziorka.


And the smaller one is called Mała so literally "the small one".


In the park you can find many smaller and bigger statues. This one is called Five Dreams and refers to the human beliefs around wolves being wild and free.


And those ones seem to be made of straw. Maybe these are the houses of the piglets who were trying to hide from the Big Bad Wolf?


The health spa parks are usually the center of the cultural life of the town. So you will not be surprised to find here a concert hall, just like in Busko-Zdrój.


You will find here also the Cultural Center of Konstancin (not a very impressive building to be honest).


Finally, we reach the biggest attraction of the town - the graduation tower


As you see, this is not really a tower. It is a construction made of brushwood.


 Why would people build something like that? Well, let's go inside.


The phenomenon of a graduation tower is the air. It is saturated with salty water by means of a special pumping device in the middle of the structure.


The droplets of salty water are falling on the brushwood which is acting as a giant inhalator, curing diseases of respiratory system.


This is why many people come to Konstancin-Jeziorna and sit on those nice benches and just breathe deeply. I warmly encourage you to do the same.
