This imposing structure, over 300 meters long, was originally built to extract salt. Ultimately, this was discontinued entirely in 1867. However, in the context of the spa town of Bad Dürkheim, which was developing during this period, it was quickly established that salt flats, in addition to their purely economic function as salt production sites, also have a very high health value. When the brine is trickled from the Maxquelle springing up in the Kurpark, large quantities of minerals are released into the air in the form of microscopically fine droplets, the aerosols, which are absorbed by visitors through their respiratory tract. It was recognized very early on that inhaling this air on the ambulatory and in the immediate vicinity of the salt works can have a soothing effect, especially on respiratory diseases. This effect can still be experienced today on a tour of the salt works.

Partly burned down twice already, but always rebuilt .... just one of many landmarks of Bad Dürkheim - we won't let that be taken away from us (now with fire protection system and permanently in operation, so that the brushwood never dry and therefore does not easily ignite becomes)

The 333m long saline can be walked on at a low price, on the north side with a small terrace and a beautiful view of the Michaelis chapel (the origin of our world-famous and largest wine festival in the world) ... a tiny little café/bistro is located inside the saline (in summer is also served outside)

Adjacent is the spa garden, a water playground fed by the Isenach, the weekly flea market and a small outdoor fitness park as well as the spa and park clinic.

A small toilet on the south side is also available (for a fee)
