GRADUATION WORKS IN BAD SALZUFLEN A piece of Bad Salzuflen's identity The impressive graduation works have shaped the townscape of Bad Salzuflen for centuries - long before the state spa was founded. Originally they were part of the Salzuflen saltworks: the first of these technical masterpieces was built in Bad Salzuflen in 1767 to make the extraction of the precious salt from our brine more effective and easier. Until then, the brine had been laboriously boiled in pans to extract the white gold, but now the salty water flowed over a structure that evaporated the water and cleaned the brine of lime and iron oxide, for example. The structure is essentially made of wood and blackthorn, which is particularly branched and resilient. The brine concentrated in this way could be boiled into salt more quickly - this reduced the enormous consumption of wood required for salt boiling.

Graduation Bad Salzufeln. Very beautiful there; great houses and a very worth seeing park in front of it.
The graduation towers are nice and cool in the shade and soothing.

IMPRESSIVE GRADUATION TOWERSBreathe in the fresh sea breezeThe most famous landmarks in Bad Salzuflen include the Leopoldsprudel in the extensive spa gardens and the three sophisticated graduation towers. They stand impressively large at the transition from the town to the spa gardens.One of the three graduation towers is at the spa gardens entrance and close to the State Spa Vitality Center: the adventure graduation tower. It is one of the most modern graduation towers in Europe and has extraordinary details. Two other graduation towers are immediately adjacent: the clock graduation tower and the graduation tower at the Schliepsteiner Tor.The three graduation towers in Bad Salzuflen act like giant open-air inhalers. Up to 600,000 liters of brine from three Bad Salzuflen springs trickle down blackthorn walls every day, atomize into the finest mist and create a sea-like climate. The aerosols created during the atomization process invigorate the body with every breath. Visitors with respiratory diseases feel the effect immediately.
