There are so many different little things that enliven and enchant you here.

Vitality with the power of nature

Salt and alpine brine as curative natural treasures, healthy air, an intact mountain world that invites you to explore, wonderful pampering programs and culinary surprises from the regional cuisine: this is the combination that makes Bad Reichenhall one of the first feel-good addresses in Germany. Salt is the "white gold" that has established the reputation and wealth of the Alpine town of Bad Reichenhall. Pure, untouched by civilization Alpensole, is used directly from the source for a variety of vitalizing, soothing applications. Especially valuable is Laist - mineral silt, which helps with skin irritations and makes the skin soft to the touch. Experienced experts are available in the Bad Reichenhaller Kurmittelhaus der Moderne. Massages, baths, inhalations, sports, relaxation and more can be put together individually. A full day of salt recovery is available at Rupertus Therme. Special spa hotels and health centers offer a variety of spa procedures. If you like, stroll through the Royal Spa Garden, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018, and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze that blows over from the AlpenSole-Gradierhaus and enriches the air with the finest salt crystals. An imposing, heritage-protected open-air inhalatory that clears the airways.
