Brine Tower and Graduation Tower, Bad Salzungen

Highlight • Monument

Bad Salzungen belongs to the Werra potash district - potash salts have been extracted here on a large scale since the 19th century. Salt extraction in Bad Salzungen goes back much further and has a long tradition here. In the past, the city's brine springs provided the "Salzung Pfänners" with great wealth. Today the graduation tower near the Werra is no longer so significant, but no less beautiful. Here you can stop and take a deep breath: The humid, salty air should be very healthy. Next to the graduation tower is the Salt and Saltworks Museum, where you can learn everything about the city's salty past.

Historic City Wall of Bad Salzungen

Highlight • Historical Site

The first reference to a city fortification is probably in the 14th century.
Unfortunately, only fragments of the city wall have survived.
