Come enjoy your body floating like never before. Have a seat in our cinema. Explore our seething master as he makes salt in our brand-new seething hut. Explore the virtual ride ‘138 meters down’ in the mineworkers’ elevator – and round out your experience by enjoying a great meal served on the dock.

Café Salt

After your bath, you can enjoy a delicious meal at Café Salt. The café offers several tasty lunch dishes such as sandwiches, delicious salads, and much more. Enjoy your lunch on the terrace outside, perfectly situated by Denmark's most beautiful fjord.

Even on a rainy day, you can sit outside on the terrace without getting wet. There are four greenhouses where you can enjoy your meal and the view of the water - sheltered from the Danish summer weather.

If you want to relax and spend some time here, we suggest you take a walk around the city of Mariager.
