On the Trail of the Salt Makers - Tour

Let's get started at the tourist office in front of the spa house. The path leads down with the salt maker or the baker of Kropfbrot to the "cradle of the spa," the millennia-old Tassilo spring. Nobles, entrepreneurs, princes, and industrialists met in the spa park, deliberately avoiding the poor people and scabby children who only received healing baths during the night hours. The rich villa culture with its famous guests is the focus of the walk through the venerable English spa park, where disreputable good-for-nothings also loitered. The spa doctor treated various ailments, including the syphilis or lues that were whispered about in hushed tones. There have been extraordinary successes since the fundamental research in eye treatment. The 90-minute tour ends at the city museum Forum Hall, immersing visitors in the old bathing culture and the great successes of the Paracelsus Institute.
