Salinental Graduation Towers

Highlight • Monument

Not only nice to drive past, but also to take a deep breath and breathe in the brine mist. It is best to plan a quarter of an hour for this.

Just a pure pleasure to walk this narrow path. The views into the distance, into the depths and the nature and rocks directly on the path are simply fantastic!

You can go for a walk in the spa park all day and sit down in the area of the salt pans to breathe in the fresh air, or read a book that you can borrow for free from a telephone booth in the park. If you want to see all the sights in the park, you have to hurry up. The big and mighty salt flats alone look so big and mighty. If you don't want to walk, you can also take a seat in the blue train at the entrance of the spa hotel and then take part in a so-called spa park tour of around 45 minutes. It's very interesting and you can learn a lot about the city.

Postcard panorama, mostly great paths, special vegetation, massive rock face. I not only like the view, but also the view of the mighty rock face and its structure! The vegetation up there is also remarkable. https://www.bad-kreuznach-tourist.de/aktiv-und-natur/wandern/ https://www.wanderinstitut.de/premiumwege/rheinland-pfalz/vitaltour-rotenfels/ https://www.bad-muenster-am-stein.de/content/download/1905/14368/version/1/file/3x3+Rotenfels.pdf

One of the most beautiful viewpoints in the area. Also a beautiful nature reserve. The view of the impressive cliff face from the Nahe near Münster or Norheim is also worth seeing.
