Wildflower meadow in Salinenpark

Highlight • Natural

The insect hotel is located directly in the salt park. The description with information about which animals it offers a home is very nice.

Celtic Tree Circle in Salinenpark

Highlight • Monument

Well, at first I thought it was a flower arrangement around a small hill...
It's easy to miss.

Some of the drill houses were built in 1828. The 18.7m high drilling tower on rails dates from 1905. It can access all six drilling houses. The drilling rig was equipped with two engines. The drilling rig saved a lot of time and manpower.

Pedestrian bridge connecting Kurpark and Salinenpark

Highlight • Bridge

This pedestrian bridge connects the Kurpark and the Salinenpark. There are no steps required to use the bridge (as is the case with the double helix further down). This makes it the quickest way to get back and forth between the two parks if the elevator at the double helix is broken (unfortunately this happens quite often).

Rest Area Under the Large Tree (Besinnungspfad)

Highlight • Rest Area

The rest area invites you to stop for a moment and enjoy the surrounding landscape. The large, imposing tree provides lovely shade on hot days like today.

At the Gradierwerk, there are some loungers and benches, which make it possible to settle down comfortably and enjoy the salty air. It is one of the main attractions in the park and is always well frequented.
