Ciechocinek is one of the largest and the most famous health resorts in Poland. The oldest records the brine springs date back to 13th century. “The garden town” of Ciechocinek is characterized by lowland climate which is very beneficial in terms of therapeutic and recreational functions. The climate is mild for the human organism, with a relatively high yearly average temperature, a large number of sunny days, a low level of precipitation, not very strong winds and low air humidity. The natural resources include abundant deposits of thermal brines which  have extraordinary therapeutic properties due to the contents of sodium chloride, compounds of calcium, magnesium and iron, free hydrogen sulphide, iodine, bromine and other microelements
