Четыре часа в Солевом царстве Four hours in the Salt Kingdom

I read and heard a lot about treatment in salt mines. And then there was an opportunity to take a tour and participate in this very treatment. ) We arrived early in the morning. By 8-00 we entered the building for sanitary needs. Previously, this was done by vacationers of the sanatorium. The building is under renovation. But when they do, it will be very nice. At 10-00, under the clear guidance of a furnaceman, in helmets, we were lowered in a real cage to a depth of 300m into the mine. There they had an interesting excursion and left to rest. We drank tea and walked barefoot. Sensation as if walking on coarse sand. Standing is not recommended, because the temperature is +14. But when they put on their shoes, they felt a rush of blood to the legs and a pleasant warmth. We personally "got" a few pieces of salt, listened to the instrumental in the hall where the concerts of the symphony orchestra were held. We spent the rest of the hour sleeping in a comfortable bed. We slept very well and regained strength after an almost sleepless night on the bus. The gallery nearby is intended for vacationers of the sanatorium. When you are in a mine, it feels like diving into a sea without water. . One small session was enough for the residual effects after bronchitis to pass. With a feeling of new birth at 14:00, the crate lifted us to the surface. )
