At Chichochinnek there are salt waters pumped up from the earth -- 5 to 22% salt, saltier than just mineral waters. The town is a huge spa, where people come from all over the country. The President of Poland has a country house right in town. The director of Radio Maria, the conservative religious radio station out of Torun, which broadcasts all over Poland, is building a McMansion here in town (he also drives a Maybach, a high-end luxmobile.)

The town has many hotels, only they call them hospitals, so that staying there can be paid for by the national health care system.

Here they pump the water over tall stacks of special brush brought from Holland, and people are charged a small fee to sit downwind from the water as it passes through the brush, to breathe the waters. This is old technology, but still used. Each of these long stacks of brush is 600 meters long (almost 2000 feet) and there are three in town.
