Embedded in the valley of the "Salzbornbach" offers Bad Salzig a wonderful view over the Rhine towards
the zamku Sterrenberg and
Liebenstein, known in the vernacular as
"The Hostile Brothers".
A trip is worthwhile especially in spring, when the numerous cherry gardens transform the whole valley into
just one, splendid sea of flowers. Due to its mild climate by an annual average of 18° C, Bad Salzig is
not only a preferential area of fruit orchards, but also an ideal health resort.
The fact that Bad Salzig is known today, above all, as mineral medicinal bath, is due to the initiative of the
captain coming from east Prussia i.R. "Theodor Hoffmann", who initiated the bore of the "Barbaraquelle" and the
"Leonorenquelle" in 1902 and 1905.
Since then the healing water of a fizzy, alkaline-muratic Glauber's salt spring bubbles here out of 1463 feet.
Since 1925 Salzig has been given its official title “Bad” (Bath) in the name.
In the in an ultra-modern equipped Middlerhine clinic with departments of gastroenterologie, oncology and
psychosomatics, many patients find healing.
The historical bath house with sauna and the thermal bath, fed with healing water, is open, of course, also
to all other visitors.
The clinic is surrounded by a big, extensive park with a very old stock of trees and a natural ecologically
invested pond, which invites visitors for a walk around.
Here one finds rest, internal balance and relaxation.
In this unique ambience different cultural events take place during the summer season.
