Kurpark Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Kurparksee (spa park lake) in Bad Salzuflen is the centerpiece of the expansive spa park and one of the town's most beautiful spots. Nestled among ancient trees, well-maintained walking paths, and the impressive graduation towers that have made Bad Salzuflen famous as a traditional spa town, the lake was created as part of the spa park's development in the early 20th century and lends the entire area a tranquil, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. With its reflective surface, waterfowl, and surrounding flowerbeds and greenery, it invites visitors to enjoy relaxing strolls, short breaks, or simply linger on its shores.

Fountain in the Kurpark, Bad Salzuflen

Highlight • Monument

The extensive spa park in Bad Salzuflen is one of the largest in Germany and was at times the most visited spa facility in the country. Here you can admire historical bath houses, enjoy the splendor of flowers in the rose garden or sniff healthy salt air in the adventure graduation tower. In the neighboring landscape park, you can stroll around on wide meadows under beautiful trees, try a Kneipp adventure course, look for a way through the maze or observe animals in the game reserve and an aviary. On hiking trails you can also walk further into the surrounding mountain landscape of the Teutoburg Forest.

Graduation Tower, Bad Salzuflen

Highlight • Monument

I can Bad Salzuflen recommend, not only the walks through the park, past the Gradierwerken, even the small town with its half-timbered houses is simply charming. Especially in the Advent season you have to visit the Christmas market, it's worth it. Also I'm thrilled from the VITASOL-Therme with a great brine bath.

GRADUATION IN BAD SALZUFLEN

Here you can breathe fresh air as much as you want: a stroll along the Bad Salzufler graduation works is as healthy as a walk by the sea.

The first "graduation case" was built in 1767 by Baron von Beust and was used for salt extraction until 1945. Today the graduation towers are more than just a relic from the past. Up to 600,000 liters of brine trickle over the blackthorn walls every day, atomizing it into the finest mist and creating a sea-like climate.

This brine mist reaches the respiratory tract with an abundance of revitalizing micro-particles, which stimulates the blood circulation in the lungs and the transport of oxygen into the blood in a completely natural way. The graded and cleaned brine is at the same time the most important cure in the inhalatorium of the State Spa Vitality Center. Here the brine is used in a wide variety of atomizations to treat respiratory diseases (source staatsbad-salzuflen.de)

Graduation Tower with Clock Tower Bad Salzuflen

Highlight • Monument

In addition to the Leopoldsprudel located in the middle of the beautiful spa gardens, the graduation towers are among the most famous landmarks of Bad Salzuflen. They are impressively large at the transition from the city to the spa gardens.

At the entrance to the spa gardens, a mighty building casts a spell over the visitor: the adventure grave works. It is one of the most modern graduation towers in Europe and has extraordinary details.

The graduation towers in Bad Salzuflen look like huge open-air inhalatories. Up to 600,000 liters of brine from three Bad Salzufler springs trickle over blackthorn walls every day, atomize into a fine mist and create a sea-like climate. The aerosols produced during the atomization process invigorate the body with every breath. Visitors with respiratory diseases feel the effect immediately. You breathe more freely and deeply. But anyone who happens to come to the graduation towers will also notice a surge of energy.

In dry weather and a slightly overcast sky, we went to Bad Salzuflen together today to eat the first ice cream of this ice cream season. It was cold outside, but the ice cream tasted excellent.
