Experience salt at the Schweizerhalle Saltworks
Wie kommt Salz aus dem Boden auf unsere Teller? Auf dieser Führung erfahren Sie es. Ebenso lernen Sie, warum ohne diese Saline Basel wohl kaum zu einem weltweit führenden Pharmastandort geworden wäre.

Guided tours for groups
We will show you how salt is brought up from deep underground in the form of brine (salt water). In the evaporation room, you will witness how the brine is turned into pure salt crystals, before seeing the ultra-modern filling plant and impressive high-bay warehouse.
