The history of Bad Westernkotten has been shaped by salt for over 1000 years. In the past, today's brine and mud spa was an important salt production site. The "white gold" was produced until 1949.

Today, the focus is on the use of brine for healing purposes. Follow the "salt traces" of the former salt village. An interesting and informative journey of discovery awaits you. You can experience the past, present and future at the same time.
