Hiking
The Frankenhäuser salt springs were created by the overflow of a sea about 250 million years ago and broke with the emergence of the Kyffhaeuser mountains about 95 million years ago again. Today, the Elisabeth spring mainly supplies the Kyffhäuser spa and has a salt content of 4-7% at a flow rate of 20-60 liters of brine per second. In 1933, the Elisabethquelle was provided with a new fountain system with a stone antique column construction.
