The subterranean environment of the salt mine has a positive effect on the respiratory system, wellness and general health.
The unique microclimate of the mine, the air itself, serves as main source of treatment
Profile of treatment
The environmental climate of the “Wieliczka” Salt Mine is fundamentally different from the climate on the surface of the earth. The special curing properties of salt chambers are determined by, amongst others, the high saturation of air with sodium chloride aerosol ions The underground climate is extremely clean in microbiological and palynological terms.
The activities of the “Wieliczka” Salt Mine Health Resort are addressed primarily to people suffering from diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, such as:
- bronchial asthma
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- recurrent nose, sinuses, pharynx and larynx conditions
- chronic bronchitis and pneumonia
- allergic diseases
A fundamental role in the mechanism of treatment is performed by the unique microclimate, characterised by:
- exceptional bacteriological purity
- constant air temperature (10°C – 12°C)
- high air humidity (approx. 80%)
- high sodium chloride contents (24 mg/m3) and elements such as magnesium, manganes and calcium.
- The air is free of contaminants, which are found in the environment on the surface of the earth.
Significant air humidity prevents the harmful drying of the respiratory tract. The curing values of the chambers’ microclimate result from the natural properties of the rock salt, the ventilation and humidity of the chambers which is constantly monitored, and also by the large expanse of treatment chambers.
An important role is also played by the stimuli provided by the daily climate change produced by descending to Level III of the mine 135 meters down.

Underground therapeutic station
The unique microclimate of the mine, the air itself, serves as main source of treatment, and acts as a natural inhalator. This part of the mine has already one treatment chamber
Lake Wessel Chamber
The Lake Wessel treatment chamber, located on Level III of the Wieliczka mine, 135 underground, was excavated in the second half of the nineteenth century, since 1909, it contains a salt lake, which is the main attraction of the chamber of the mine. The chamber was created as a result of exploiting a block of green salt. The Wessel Lake Chamber mass is composed of medium and coarse salt contaminated with a clayey substance.
The Lake Wessel Chamber offers 60 rehabilitation places located on the shore of the brine lake. In the chamber, spaces have been set out for:
- group breathing exercises,
- patients’ rest (tables and chairs)
- repose (4 couches)
- group general fitness exercises – a “gym” equipped with ladders, mirrors, benches, gymnastic mattresses
- educational classes, complete with audio – video equipment
- inhalation (3 inhalation stations)
- storage of patients’ personal belongings during stays (lockers)
- medical station with the nursing duty office
The chamber is equipped with equipment for physical exercise: multigyms, ergometers, treadmills, and a stepper. Health Resort guests can also enjoy playing billiards or table tennis, and take walks or jog around the brine lake.
Eastern Mountains’ Stable Chamber
The Eastern Mountains’ Stable treatment chamber is the second chamber in the treatment chamber complex. There are two separate rooms in the chamber.
The first of those offers repose and relaxation spots with a device for spraying salt aerosol – a graduation tower, at which a dozen people can take inhalations at the same time, with the acoustic and aesthetic experience contributing a state of relaxation. The section also includes a reading room and tables with seating and an exhibition on the treatment history in the “Wieliczka” Salt Mine and a showcase presenting the minerals found in the Wieliczka deposit.
The second part of the chamber offers accommodation for 36 patients, in comfortably furnished one- or two-bed ‘stalls’ with rehabilitation mattresses and anti-allergic bed linen and lockers for the patients. The chamber also houses physicians’ and nurse duty office with a treatment room.
The chamber offers a rich array of exercise equipment for strength and sports exercises and recreational activities such as steppers, ergometers, a treadmill and orbitreks. Professional audio-visual equipment allows conducting music therapy, deep relaxation and visualizations.
As the Eastern Mountains’ Stable Chamber is located in the vicinity of the Wessel Lake Chamber, you will find it easy to participate in respiratory kinesiotherapy under the supervision of qualified physiotherapy personnel and benefiting from exercise equipment located in the Lake Wessel Chamber.
Between the Wessel Lake and Eastern Mountains’ Stable chambers, toilets are located, providing shared sanitary facilities for both treatment chambers.
