As a reminder of the time of white gold, a salt boiling hut was rebuilt in the spa gardens, where demonstrations are also offered.
In the 16th century, the local salt springs helped the city's trade flourish; there were a total of 117 boiling houses that produced 500 hundredweight of salt every day. However, the consequences of the 30 Years' War brought an end to the flourishing salt business.
The “Frankenhäuser Sole” has a healing effect on respiratory problems, skin diseases and, among other things, rheumatism.
