Brine Tower and Graduation Tower, Bad Salzungen

Highlight • Monument

Bad Salzungen belongs to the Werra potash district - potash salts have been extracted here on a large scale since the 19th century. Salt extraction in Bad Salzungen goes back much further and has a long tradition here. In the past, the city's brine springs provided the "Salzung Pfänners" with great wealth. Today the graduation tower near the Werra is no longer so significant, but no less beautiful. Here you can stop and take a deep breath: The humid, salty air should be very healthy. Next to the graduation tower is the Salt and Saltworks Museum, where you can learn everything about the city's salty past.

Frankenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The small ruin may look old, but it dates back to 1891. At that time, the community of Frankenstein built this small artificial ruin from the meager remains of the former castle as a destination for locals and tourists. From April to September, the ruin is open on weekends and public holidays and you can also climb up the tower. There, a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape awaits you.
