Salztal Paradies, Water park and ice rink in Bad Sachsa, Germany
Salztal Paradies is a combined water park and ice skating facility in Bad Sachsa that brings both activities together in one location. The complex contains multiple slides and pools of varying depths alongside a separate rink area used during colder months.
The facility opened in the 1980s as part of Bad Sachsa's transformation into a modern resort town in the Harz mountains. The combined water and ice skating concept was an innovative response at the time to year-round visitor demands in the region.
The name references the salt springs that have shaped this area for centuries and continue to define the town's character today. Visitors experience here a blend of modern recreation rooted in the region's mineral water heritage.
The facility is located near the town center and is easily reached on foot or by car with ample parking available on site. Plan for at least 2 to 3 hours if you want to use both sections, and bring gloves or socks if you prefer to bring your own skates.
The facility uses natural thermal springs from the region to heat the water, making swimming comfortable year-round. This connection between local geology and modern comfort often goes unnoticed by visitors.
