Solebad Reichenhall Alpine Kur

Solebad Reichenhall in Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria, draws chloride-rich Alpine salt brine from one of Europe's most abundant natural saline springs — a brine 10 times saltier than the ocean, exploited since Celtic times and powering the historic Reichenhaller salt trade that funded the medieval prosperity of Salzburg and Bavaria. The inhalation of salt-rich aerosols in the Kurgarten and indoor Sole pools belongs to a long thermal tradition associated with well-being, in a Bavarian Alpine spa city famous for its Kur concerts in the magnificent neoclassical Kurgarten since the 19th century. The salt-works heritage museum, dramatic Berchtesgaden Alps scenery, proximity to Salzburg's Mozart heritage and Berchtesgaden's Königssee lake, and the extraordinary Bavarian Alpine food culture of Watzmann venison and Berchtesgadener dairy surround this Alpine brine spa with a richness of natural and cultural experience.
