Fountain made in the shape of a mushroom is a casing of the source No. 11, which is a 414 meters deep brine borehole. It is from here that the brine is pumped to the graduation towers in Ciechocinek.

In its history it has undergone several major reconstructions and renovations, it has been elevated and moved a few meters from its initial position. The fountain also has a therapeutic function.
