The bike tour was a lovely short trip to Bad Salzungen.
They've renovated and rebuilt the graduation tower immaculately.
The highlight, however, was the tour of the mine! Underground, it's as big as Munich, with a length of over 5,000 km.
Starting at a depth of 500 meters, the elevator takes 90 seconds!
You can also visit the salt cave …
