Kurhaus and Spa Park Bad Salzhausen

Highlight • Historical Site

The spa park in Bad Salzhausen, laid out in 1826 by Heinrich Karl Bindernagel, is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in Germany with its 52 hectares. Once the center of salt production, the town gained great fame through the research of the chemist Justus Liebig, who between 1828 and 1831 researched the healing effects of the brine and helped Bad Salzhausen gain recognition as a spa town. The historic graduation tower, the bell house, and the old water wheel, alongside contemporary art, shape the park's image to this day – an ideal place to let the salty air blow around your nose and switch off for a while.

The entire Nidda cycle path from Frankfurt to Schotten is well developed and very nice to ride.

Nidda Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Nidda Reservoir - in the summer a dream for hikers, skaters and cyclists. The great snack bar on the banks of the reservoir invites you to take a break. Here you should definitely try Leberkäs with fried eggs and homemade potato salad.

The Niddastausee is beautifully located, the circular hike is easy to walk and there is a nice bistro at the campsite for a break.

The last few kilometers were really wet. It's good to have good rain gear with you.

Now I've covered almost the entire Nidda, starting at the confluence with the Main near Höchst, even if only piece by piece.

The source is still missing - train to Schotten, then to the source and in a ride to the mouth >> Project for the future :))
