The history of Kołobrzeg began with brine, which is estimated to be over 2 million years old. It is located beneath the city and its remnants of the primeval ocean.
In the past, salt was evaporated from it, and now its medicinal properties are used. It is mainly used for rheumatic diseases, neurological diseases and respiratory diseases.
You can buy Kołobrzeg brine in a bottle, or you can collect it yourself and use it in the form of baths, compresses or inhalations. The only publicly accessible brine spring can be found on Salt Island, near the place where the oldest traces of settlement were discovered. It has a six percent salt solution and is rich in microelements. It is particularly popular among the inhabitants of Kołobrzeg during the cucumber season. The brine is perfect for pickling and also gives them a unique taste.
