Salt Pond in the Kurpark Bad Oldesloe

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Kurpark was the center of a popular brine, moor and sulfur bath, which the oldeslo pharmacist Dr. Friedrich August Lorentzen founded in 1813. A granite brine bath still installed in the park comes from the former bathing pavilion. The spa garden was probably designed by the Bremen art gardener Isaak Hermann Albert Altmann (1777–1837), and the remains of old chestnut and linden alleys still testify to this design. From 1898 the spa then experienced a second bloom with elaborate new buildings and decorative beds. Today the park is a green oasis close to nature in the middle of the city, encircled by the best. Where once there were graduation towers on the river and bathhouses on the salt pond, romantic tree shapes are reflected in the salty water. Today, spa guests no longer fortify themselves on the brine, but a saline spring feeds a small bog in the park and creates interesting plant communities that give a rich bird life quarters.

Bad Oldesloe was known for its saltworks and salt extraction. Since 1813 it has been a popular health resort near Hamburg. At that time the spa park was created especially for the spa guests. Then as now, the salt pond was a popular destination for walks through the park. Today you can walk through the spa gardens on the trail of salt extraction. Information boards provide information about the history of salt extraction and spa operations.tourismus-stormarn.de/de/gaerten-und-parks/kurpark-bad-oldesloe-168

Good for a short walk, for example in autumn when the leaves change color. I often use the park as a starting point for my bike tours around Bad Oldesloe. Basically, the park is right at the point where BahnRadWeg 1 and 2 meet.
