    There are two of these waterwheels in Bad Kreuznach's Salinental valley.
    The two waterwheels, with over 100 blades, drive rods, and pumps, are used, as in ancient times, to transport brine to a height of nine meters at the top of the drive. From there, the saline mineral water trickles down the blackthorn hedges, creating a fresh salt breeze.

    Hiking

    This water wheel was restored in 2011. Because the water hits the paddles in the lower third and then pushes them up, this type of water wheel is called "undershot".
