Gradierwerk

  • Tip
  • Graduation works
  • Kneipp pool/water treading
Right next to the Sälzerhalle stands the salt graduation tower, which is over 50 meters long and was rebuilt by the city of Salzkotten in 1997 on its original site. The facility is fed with brine from the nearby “Neuer Sprudel” spring.

Next to the graduation tower, a foot bath and an arm bath invite visitors to enjoy Kneipp treatments. A trail runs along the Heder River, continuing through the Heder floodplain into the Sültsoid Nature Reserve, which spans approximately 16 hectares. Brine springs and spring marshes characterize the landscape and create unique conditions for salt-loving plant life.

Along the approximately 2.5-kilometer-long nature trail, interpretive signs provide information about the geology as well as the flora and fauna of the area. Visitors can discover plants that are otherwise found primarily along the seashore. The trail continues south to the Heder spring area of Upsprunge.
