Solbad Bad Sassendorf

Solbad Bad Sassendorf is a recognized saline health resort in the Soest district of North Rhine-Westphalia, where natural brine springs have been exploited for salt production and thermal bathing since medieval times in a landscape of rolling agricultural land east of the Rhenish Massif. The spa is ideally situated near Soest, one of Germany's finest preserved medieval cities, whose remarkable sandstone church towers, intact city wall, and the magnificent green sandstone Patrokli Cathedral create an architectural streetscape of extraordinary beauty that has changed little since the prosperous Hanseatic trading era of the 13th and 14th centuries. The concentrated saline thermal waters of Bad Sassendorf, drawing on deep Permian salt deposits, are part of a long thermal tradition and are delivered in a modern complex that honors the long tradition of natural salt heritage in this historically rich Westphalian landscape.
