The Old Salt Works Bad Reichenhall

It is one of the most beautiful, neo-romantic industrial monuments in Europe: the Old Salt Works. The 13-metre-high water wheels are still turning today, pumping the valuable brine to the surface. Tip: A guided tour through the underground, mystical tunnel system is an unforgettable experience. If you want to do more for your respiratory system, you should take part in brine spring training in the tunnel system. The salty, humid air and therapeutic exercises underground are particularly beneficial.

The Predigtstuhlbahn Bad Reichenhall

The world's oldest large-cabin cable car takes you high up to the Predigtstuhl. Since 1928, the cable car guests up Bad Reichenhall's local mountain, which is 1614 meters high. At the top, you can enjoy views from Lake Chiemsee to the wild Kaiser Mountains, a mountain restaurant with a terrace and the Schlegelmulde-Alm with culinary highlights. Circular trails and summit tours start here for hikers.

The Royal Spa Garden

The green heart of the Alpine town - that's what you could call the Royal Spa Garden. It is centrally located right at the entrance to the pedestrian zone. In addition to royal buildings, time-honored trees and colorful plants, the park is especially dedicated to the AlpenSole experience. The Alpine brine fountain bubbles here, an Alpine brine Kneipp pool refreshes tired walking feet, the brine fountain in the Wandelhalle helps with sore throats and the impressive graduation house clears the airways with the help of the finest brine droplets.

The AlpenSole-Gradierhaus

At 160 meters long and 13 meters high, the graduation house in the Royal Spa Garden is impossible to miss. You should take half an hour to feel the effect of the fine Alpine brine droplets on your body. Breathe in and out deeply, walk along slowly and concentrate fully on your breathing. The aerosols clear the lungs and are even beneficial for hay fever sufferers.
Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic Orchestra

The Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic Orchestra

They are the symphony orchestra in south-east Bavaria and an integral part of cultural life: the 40 or so professional musicians of the Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to large, classical concert series, the orchestra preserves the tradition of spa concerts. The spa concerts can be experienced daily (except Mondays) in the concert rotunda at the Royal Spa Garden. Also open-air in summer. Caress your soul with selected melodies.
