"Wciąż bardziej obcy" video was made in 1983. Borysewicz was 27 back then.

They pour "Ustronianka" water.

Is it in Chełm? There was a plan to bottle and sell the excess tap water produced there to help combat climate change/drought issues.

OP pawian  226 | 27199

Sorry, not Chełm. And the reason to bottle that water from the spring has a more practical nature - it excludes drinking, at least not in such amounts as you can see in the photos.

Looking at the plaque... maybe this is a Licheń type place? That is did some kind of special religous event take place there and so people collect and/or sell the water?

OP pawian  226 | 27199

maybe this is a Licheń type place?

Clever answer but no. Although it might sound quite plausible - collect holy water for the whole year. :):):)

Hint - this spring with special water is located in a spa resort town or city. Alien mentioned Ustroń but it wasn`t. It is an unusual spa resort which most people visit for different reasons than health problems.

Ciechocinek? lol

OP pawian  226 | 27199
  #1636
Sorry, no, most people come there for health reasons so it doesn`t suit.
Hint - it is in the north.

Kołobrzeg?

If this is that spring in Kołobrzeg then this water is brine, so maybe they're going to use it to make pickled foods?

Ciechocinek?

Spent a pleasant couple of weeks there years ago (partly work related...)

Loved the tężnie and the outdoor swimming pool (which I take it no longer exists).

Not the most... exciting place but overall a nice time.

OP pawian  226 | 27199

spring in Kołobrzeg water is brine, to make pickled foods

Yes. Wholesale water collection for pickling cucumbers.

Alien  31 | 8084

pickling cucumbers

Is this water already salty or does it have other properties that make it predisposed to flooding cucumbers.

OP pawian  226 | 27199
  #1642
Is this water already salty

Yes, it is coz Paulina wrote: brine.

But is it friendly architecture (people can lean on it when they might not want to sit because of weather) or hostile architecture (designed to prevent undesirables like homeless people from being comfortable?

Lenka  6 | 3703

Cargo pants  3 | 1419

Correct
