Graduation Tower in town park in Raszyn
The Graduation Tower is a structure made of wood and branches of a specific type of shrub (blackthorn), which creates a special microclimate thanks to the brine flowing through it. Brine is a mineral water containing a large number of sodium ions and mineral salts. The inhaled air contributes to the prevention and treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, such as sinusitis, emphysema, hypertension and allergies - diseases that are very common nowadays, when we spend more than 90% of our time indoors. The largest and oldest graduation tower in Poland is located in the town of Ciechocinek.
A green window to nature
The graduation tower in Raszyn, a project developed by employees of VELUX Polska and Raszyn Commune, was created based on the slogan “A green window to nature”. This investment is located in Magdalena Abakanowicz Raszyn Park. Next to the graduation tower, where residents can relax, new walkways and landscaping have been created. Employees of VELUX Polska can relax in the bosom of nature only a few minutes away from the office.
The people of Raszyn and the many VELUX employees close by can take a break from the hectic city life and enjoy the well-being effect of the Tower while reflecting, letting their thoughts wander, relaxing, and breathing the healthy vaporized air.
The graduation tower has many healing properties. It has a positive effect on, among others, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular and nervous systems. Spending time at the graduation tower is also recommended for thyroid diseases, allergic skin problems and in the treatment of hypertension. It is also recommended for people exposed to stress and all those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The investment was carried out in 2021-2024 as part of the “Green Areas and Outdoor Activities” grant program announced by the Employee Foundation of the VKR Group, on the occasion of its 30th anniversary.
Fun Fact: 1,500 pieces of twig bundles were used to build the Graduation Tower.
