Bad Kreuznach: Spa Town on the Nahe, Brueckenhaeuser, and the Rhineland-Palatinate's Salt-Air Cure
Bad Kreuznach has a population around 43,200 and lies on the Nahe river in Rheinland-Pfalz, about 30 kilometres southwest of Mainz. The town is a designated spa (Heilbad) with radon-containing thermal springs. The Salinental, a valley lined with graduation towers (Gradierwerke) where brine trickles over blackthorn bundles to create salt-enriched air, stretches over four kilometres and is the largest open-air inhalation facility in Europe.
The Brueckenhaeuser, half-timbered houses built directly on the Alte Nahebruecke bridge, are the town's most photographed feature. The Kauzenburg castle ruin overlooks the town from a hillside. The Nahe wine region produces respected Riesling, and the Nahe-Weinberge surround the town. The Crucenia thermal baths offer modern spa facilities. Michel Mort, the medieval town hero, is celebrated in local folklore. The Rheingrafenstein, a dramatic cliff with castle ruins, lies nearby. Mainz is reachable by train in about 30 minutes. Adult companionship follows Rheinland-Pfalz's regulatory framework.
