Salt Cave Wietmarschen

Salt Cave Wietmarschen (Salzgrotte Wietmarschen)

The 40 m² salt cave offers space for 8 to 10 people and is lined with approx. 250 million year old salt blocks and salt bricks. In the saltarium there are two heatable salt beds and two stable relaxation loungers. Both rooms are equipped with a special ventilation and air-conditioning system that ensures appropriate humidity and constant temperatures. Ultrasound devices from medical technology produce the finest brine mist, which is absorbed through the respiratory tract and the skin. A graduation house, backlit salt stones with a starry sky and soft relaxing music provide a pleasant feel-good effect.
