Graduation towers in Saxony-Anhalt - Inhale naturally
Graduation towers are structures in which brine trickles over blackthorn brushwood. Evaporation creates a salty climate that acts like an open-air inhalatorium. This technique was originally used to extract salt, but today it is considered beneficial for the respiratory tract and skin. In Bad Dürrenberg, the largest continuous graduation house in Germany is 636 meters long and is embedded in an extensive spa park. Bad Salzelmen keeps the history of salt production alive with its traditional graduation house and adjoining museum. In Bad Kösen, walkways and historical graduation technology characterize the picture, while Bad Schmiedeberg has created a modern graduation house that is harmoniously integrated into the spa park. Together, they show how historical technology and modern health treatments intertwine.
