Busko-Zdrój health resort is famous for the resources of sulfide water and iodine brine.
From the entrance gate you will be greeted by renovated alleys for walkers and cyclists. Climatic lighting makes walks after sunset more pleasant for patients. And if they feel tired, they can rest on the new benches. However, the spa park has retained its original character. Its origins, like the rest of the spa, date back to the 19th century.
It was then that the spa park in Buski was founded by Ignacy Hanusz, a well-known designer of urban greenery and director of the Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw. The park consists of two parts. Its heart is an orderly, regular and symmetrical French garden, fully exposing the beauty of the bathroom building designed by Henryk Marconi. This regular part is surrounded on three sides by a real secret garden, i.e. an English-style park with an irregular arrangement of plantings and alleys. The axis of the layout is an alley running from the bathrooms to the park gate. Its extension is the current Mickiewicza Avenue, leading to the city park at the Busko market square. It is this line - from the city park to Łazienki Park - that is the main walking route for patients resting between successive treatments. They wander the alleys, enjoy drinks and desserts in one of the cafes or head towards the already mentioned bathroom building.
The bathrooms in Busko, named "Marconi" after the architect, were built in 1836 in the classicist style. Even if you are not on treatment, go ahead and look inside. Inside, you are greeted by a monumental pump room and… the smell of sulfur characteristic of the Busko health resort. You'll quickly get used to the latter. And from the representative hall, it is worth looking behind the curtain of the concert hall, which brings to mind a more classicistic temple. Originally, the concert hall was a meeting place and a waiting room before bathing. Where you now see the mirrors, there used to be entrances to the bathroom cabins.
The brine graduation tower in Buska is an absolute novelty on the spa map of Poland. If you feel that you need to improve your health today or simply relax among functional and modern interiors - the graduation tower will be a bull's-eye.
You will find graduation towers in the new spa park. This one is full of additional attractions - you will find here an orangery and a spa house where you can drink medicinal waters and use the year-round mini graduation tower. However, if you are going to Busko-Zdrój with the whole family, a multimedia fountain and a playground will be a great attraction. The graduation tower itself impresses with its size. A circle with a diameter of 72 meters and a circumference of almost 230 meters awaits the patients. The walls are up to 10 meters high. The graduation tower consists of 2 rings, inside which you will find a spacious courtyard, the heart of which is a fog fountain.
This design invites you to take a walk or relax on one of the comfortable seats. There is a viewpoint at the top of the blackthorn-filled walls. Here you will see Busko-Zdrój from a completely new perspective. Note that many plant species have already settled in the new part of the spa park. Flower compositions decorating the new spa park in Busko look spectacular from above. If you are lucky or if you follow the calendar of events in Busko-Zdrój, you will sit in the audience during one of the concerts organized in the Graduation Tower. The designers of the graduation tower have thought of everything - it has not only health, but also cultural functions.
