Salinensee

Salinensee is a lake in Bad Dürrheim formed from local salt springs and surrounded by walking paths and green spaces. Its waters contain minerals and salts drawn from the natural springs beneath the town.

The lake originated from salt extraction activities that led to the development of Bad Dürrheim as a spa town starting in the 19th century. This mining tradition established the town as a center for mineral springs in the region.

The lake serves as a gathering place where locals come to walk, swim, and spend time outdoors together. Its character is shaped by the salt springs that continue to define the town and its identity.

The site has multiple entry points with parking areas and is located near public transportation stops. Visitors will find plenty of spots along the pathways to rest and observe the surroundings.

The water has a high salt concentration that provides natural buoyancy to swimmers year-round. This characteristic made it a traditional favorite for bathing and relaxation across all seasons.
