Bad Dürkheim Graduation Tower

Highlight • Monument

This imposing structure, over 300 meters long, was originally built to extract salt. Ultimately, this was discontinued entirely in 1867. However, in the context of the spa town of Bad Dürkheim, which was developing during this period, it was quickly established that salt flats, in addition to their purely economic function as salt production sites, also have a very high health value. When the brine is trickled from the Maxquelle springing up in the Kurpark, large quantities of minerals are released into the air in the form of microscopically fine droplets, the aerosols, which are absorbed by visitors through their respiratory tract. It was recognized very early on that inhaling this air on the ambulatory and in the immediate vicinity of the salt works can have a soothing effect, especially on respiratory diseases. This effect can still be experienced today on a tour of the salt works.

May 7, 2023,FT - Rotsteig - Kalmit - FT

Plan: Kalmit, first ascent in 2023

Ironically, the easiest way to get there is via the Rotsteig, Dejvu...🫣

Met two old acquaintances on the way:
- again squirrels across the street. But with more distance, so it was yesterday, learned something 🐿.
- Last week's Frankensteiner snail passed me on its next summit attempt 🐌.

August 20, 2023,FT - Zweikommafünf Gipfel - FT

Plan today: Rotsteig - Die Wand - Kalmit - home

We started an hour later than yesterday.
No, not overslept, just wanted to be sure that down the Rotsteig there was already a bit of daylight available to make it easier to stay on track.
