    The salt well in the center of the chamber forest -

    Salt has always been of great importance to people. This Erdsaline source has been used for more than 2500 years. Starting with the Celtic inhabitants of Kammerforst, whose tombs are still visible today.

    About 500 meters from the salt well, the remains of a rustic villa show traces of Roman settlement.

    In the Middle Ages, the Elector of Trier, as owner of the chamber forest, had the installation of a salt mine controlled there.

    Only a few hundred meters from the outskirts of Beurig, this small fountain is located in a small valley in the forest together with an old water treadmill.

    For the brave among us, there is a Kneipp pool right next to the salt fountain where you can cool your legs.
