The locals like to call the graduation tower in Bad Sooden-Allendorf the vertical North Sea because of the very salty air here, which is particularly beneficial for people with respiratory problems.
The system was originally built to increase the salt concentration in the brine trickling down the brushwood. This made the subsequent salt production in the neighboring boiling houses easier and cheaper. It was only much later that the health-promoting effects of brine were recognized.
In 2002 the graduation tower was completely rebuilt. It is the core of the spa area in the Sooden district. Immediately next to it are the Werratal Therme, several parks and the historic half-timbered houses of Sooden.

A detour that was worth it. The graduation house in Bad Sooden alone was worth going there. But the lovingly renovated half-timbered houses in Bad Sooden and Allendorf are also well worth seeing.
