    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.

    In 1870, the salt spring was rediscovered. The high concentration of sodium, but also of magnesium and potassium, led to the establishment of a thermal and thermal establishment in Beurig, with the saline as the center of a thermal park. Up to 10,000 bottles have been filled and shipped each year. The salt well is considered Germany's richest source of calcium chloride.

    During the Second World War, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages used salt water for cooking and baking bread.

    Today the salt well invites you to relax.

      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.
