Schon im 19.Jh. war Bad Harzburg ein beliebter Kurort und die Lieferanten der Kurmittel waren die Solquellen. Durch eine 840m tiefe Bohrung sollte 1964/65 die Ausbeute im Kurpark erhöht werden. Sie traf zunächst auf Schichten des Harz-Paläozoikums, dann die nach Süden unter den Harz einfallende Harzrandstörung und darunter schließlich überkippt liegende Schichten des Oberen Buntsandsteins und des Muschelkalkes. Dem Bohrloch fließt eine 30° C warme Sole zu, gewonnen aus dem Salinar des Muschelkalks. Bereits seit 1929 führt vom Kurpark hinauf zum Großen Burgberg (485 m NHN) eine Zweikabinenseilbahn. Oben erinnert die Canossa-Säule an HEINRICH IV. (1050 – 1106), der zu Beginn des Sachsenkrieges 1073 aus der Kaiserpfalz Goslar auf die Harzburg fliehen musste.
