“Wieliczka” Salt Mine Health Resort

The “Wieliczka” Salt Mine Health Resort, located near Kraków, Poland, conducts pulmonary rehabilitation combined with climate therapy for patients with bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic inflammatory conditions of the upper respiratory tract (such as rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis), and allergies.

Treatments take place in underground salt chambers, where a stable microclimate—characterised by constant temperature, high humidity, and air saturated with salt particles—supports symptom reduction, improved exercise tolerance, and enhanced quality of life.
