Pay a visit to the landmark of the town of Bad Salzuflen - the Leopoldsprudel!

Bad Salzuflen first became a thermal spa thanks to the Leopoldsprudel which was drilled in 1904/06. Today it is well known in the image of its fountain structure in many places. The godfather of the Leopoldsprudel is the last reigning prince of Lippe, Leopold IV zur Lippe (1871 to 1949).

Drilling work began at the end of October 1905 and led to the hoped-for success on March 2, 1906. From a depth of 534 meters, the first Salzufler carbonated thermal spring gushed forth at 25 degrees Celsius, producing 1,500 to 2,000 liters per minute. This "old thermal spring" has an outlet temperature of 21.7 degrees Celsius, a mineral content of 7.1 percent and a carbon dioxide content of 1,298 milligrams per kilogram. Its main inflow comes from a depth of 404 meters from the middle shell limestone.

The Leopoldsprudel is a popular photo motif for young and old in the spa gardens.
