The brine room

Our new brine room facility has been running since 2007. You are cordially invited to unwind and do something for your health in the graduation house, amber grotto and salt crystal grotto.

The graduation house

In this 75-m² room, you can make yourself comfortable on the recliners, rocking lounge chairs, swings or in the seating grotto and breathe in the salty air at temperatures of 34°C to 36°C.

Graduation houses, commonly also known as salt works, were previously built to extract cooking salt through evaporation.

Salty water – brine – runs along finely ramified hawthorn branches on which the water can evaporate to an optimum degree.

Inhaling humid, salty air pleasantly moistens the airways, cleanses them of bacteria, releases secretions and allows mucous membranes to shrink.
The salty air also has an anti-inflammatory, preventive and healing effect on chronic bronchitis and sinusitis. In addition, the brine room increases vitality in those who are fatigued, and provides relief for heart, circulatory and vascular diseases. Any person who is in good health but is stressed by everyday life will similarly notice the calming influence on the vegetative nervous system.

The amber and salt crystal grottos

With room temperatures of 40°C to 45°C, the amber and salt crystal grottos are both spas with overheated air. Each of the 9-m² rooms with heated benches and appropriate background music are designed as meditation rooms.

The amber grotto, with its yellow and orange colour scheme, conveys warmth and cosiness. Amber decorations strengthen the pleasant air’s influence. Because amber, known as a stone of healing and protection, is supposed to banish fears and generate joie de vivre.

On the other hand, the prevalent blue hues in the salt crystal grotto exude freshness and clarity. The salt crystals convey peace and harmony, and are also said to promote strength and vitality.
