Tężnia solankowa in Wysowa-Zdrój (Brine graduation tower)

The brine graduation tower in Wysowa-Zdrój is a small walk-around structure in a spa town in the Low Beskids. According to data on the site it was built in 2023, admission is free, and the grounds are accessible at any time. The brine comes from a spring in Wysowa-Zdrój.

The spa around the graduation tower

Wysowa-Zdrój has had a public spa since 1812. The Wikipedia entry lists eleven exploited springs, including alkaline mineral waters, and in the spa park the publicly accessible brine intakes Aleksander and Józef I. The graduation tower lies about 100 m from the pump room, so the two places are easy to combine in one walk.

Nearby

About 500 m away stands the Monastery of the Protection of the Mother of God, and less than 2 km separate the graduation tower from the Markowiec-Gródek nature reserve. It is about 2.3 km to Święta Góra Jawor with its tserkva (wooden Eastern-rite church), the Tserkva of the Protection of the Mother of God.
