Salt healing properties are known a good while age. History of caving therapy amounts to 2, 5 millennium. As far back as in ancient Greece and antique Italy natural caves were used for medical purposes. The researches of doctor Spannagel from Germany gave the grounding in the modern caving therapy, who in 1949 proposed to establish in-patient department in order to confirm the caving therapy effectiveness.

   Taking into consideration positive foreign caving therapy experience, likewise the performance of Solotvinsk republican allergology hospital, in early 90th of the previous century “Donbass health” Trust started construction of the caving holiday centre “Donbass”, in Soledar town, Donetsk Region.

   The Underground department (caving department) was located at the depth of 288 meters and was constructed in accordance with special project, developed by All-Soviet Union Research Studies Institute. The caving holiday centre “Donbass” was admitting patients since 1993, but unfortunately in 2002 it went into liquidation.

   The above-grade buildings and caving departments fell to desolation.

   Fortunately, there are people in Donbass, who are not indifferent to other people’s suffering, and real patriots of their Motherland and Ukraine.

   The new holiday centre is to be definitely established!

   Through them the reconstruction of holiday centre with beautiful centre “Salt Symphony” was started, and on the 17th of May, 2007 in honor of 75th anniversary of Donetsk region foundation, the holiday centre admitted the first patients.
