Gradierwerk Bad Salzungen

The wooden structure extends along the spa park, featuring walls filled with blackthorn branches where salt water trickles down to create mineral-rich air.

Built during the industrial development of salt production, this architectural monument represents centuries of mineral extraction methods in the Thuringian region.

The graduation tower stands as a center for health tourism, where visitors follow the German tradition of salt inhalation therapy.

The facility maintains regular operating hours throughout the year, with designated areas for walking and sitting to experience the salt-enriched environment.

The structure requires periodic replacement of its blackthorn branches every five to ten years due to mineral accumulation from continuous salt water flow.
