On the Trail of the Salt Boilermakers - Guided Tour

What's it about?

Start at the tourism office in front of the Kurhaus. The route leads with the salt boilermaker or the Kropfbrot baker down to the 'Cradle of the Health Spa', the millennia-old Tassilo spring. Nobles, entrepreneurs, princes, and industrialists met in the spa park, deliberately avoiding the poor folk and scabby children, who only received healing baths during the night hours. The wealthy villa culture with its famous guests is the focus of the walk through the venerable English-style spa park, where also unscrupulous rascals roamed. The spa doctor treated various illnesses, including syphilis or Lues, whispered about discreetly. There have been extraordinary successes since the fundamental research in eye treatment. The 90-minute tour ends at the Stadtmuseum Forum Hall with an immersion into the old spa practices and the great successes of the Paracelsus Institute.
