    Here the Salzunger brine is pumped up from a depth of 150 m.

        The drilling tower was built in 1869 and was renovated in 2012. The Bad Salzung brine is still pumped to the surface from a depth of 150 meters. In the machine house, a small exhibition provides information about the beginnings of potash mining and provides a look at the conveyor systems for the 27 percent Salzung brine.

        At the top of the tower there is a stork's nest with a stork cam (badsalzungen.de/de/webcam.html).
        The adjacent museum in the Gradierwek is small, but quite informative. You can then take a look inside the drilling tower. Admission without guest card 3 euros. Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except December 24th/25th/26th/31st. and 01.01.
