A round on the graduation tower is as refreshing as a walk on the beach.
In the spa park, the heart of the city, brine is swirled over two approximately 333m long walls of brushwood on the graduation tower, one of the longest in Germany, creating the "Palatinate Sea Breeze." The name "graduation" comes from the time of salt production and refers to the increase in salt concentration by dripping brine over the brushwood walls. Visitors can explore the promenade on their own or let themselves be initiated into the secrets surrounding the "White Gold" during a guided tour.
The graduation tower is Station A in the guide for the cultural walk.
