    The spa park and the spa district are very nice. You can do a lot of good for the bronchi at the graduation towers.

        A graduation tower (also known as a leak tower) is a facility used in the process of extracting salt from brine to increase the salt concentration (“graduate”) and improve the quality of the salt obtained. The graduation tower consists of a freely standing wooden frame filled with bundles of blackthorn twigs (formerly straw). The brine is trickled over the twigs from above, with the drops losing a considerable amount of their water through evaporation on their way down. At the same time, poorly soluble, undesirable accompanying minerals of the brine such as lime, gypsum and iron ore are deposited on the twigs, increasing the quality of the salt produced. Any carbon dioxide present also escapes from the brine, which intensifies the precipitation process of calcium salts. Graduation towers are usually part of a saltworks or saline, which includes not only the graduation tower but also brine wells, pumping stations, boiling houses and more.
