You should visit the Westphalian Salt Mines and take a tour of the modern and interactive museum. Everything on the former farm is dedicated to salt, including Sälzer Week and a day all about salt on October 3rd. At the entrance to the museum there is a small café for those who want to linger away from the crowded streets of the pedestrian zone.

In the Westfälische Salzwelten everything revolves around salt. The exhibition is divided into two areas. The first part deals with how salt is formed, how it is mined, what its structure is like and how it used to be extracted from brine.
The second part draws attention to uses of salt and brine that surprise many. It should be clear to everyone that salt is probably the most important condiment. But how much is hidden in the individual foods, that few suspect. Just like the fact that detergents, PVC, glass or soap are also manufactured using salt as a raw material.
Our bodies need a balance of salt and water for our organs to function. Medicine also knows therapies such as inhalation or baths with brine, which meanwhile have a tradition of more than a hundred years in Bad Sassendorf. And since the Westfälische Salzwelten is an adventure museum in which all the senses are addressed and visitors should try out as much as possible, they can also lean back and relax in the brine inhalation chamber at the end of their visit and do something for their bronchi .
