Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy yourself in Bad Sassendorf
You could almost believe that time moves a little slower in Bad Sassendorf. It’s a retreat where health, nature, and enjoyment go hand in hand. Known for its “white gold,” this state-certified mud and brine spa offers the perfect setting for bringing body and mind into harmony.
Bad Sassendorf is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, nestled picturesquely in the Soester Börde. This location makes the town particularly attractive: it lies right at the transition between the flat, expansive landscape of the Westphalian Bay and the first rolling hills of the northern Sauerland. This means: endless views over golden fields in summer and excellent conditions for long, yet easy walks and bike rides.
What truly sets Bad Sassendorf apart is its history of salt production. For centuries, salt workers shaped the character of the village. The salty water from deep within the earth—known as natural brine—remains the heart of the town to this day.
In addition, the town center captivates visitors with its typical Westphalian charm. Lovingly restored half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, and the spacious, colorful spa park with its old trees lend Bad Sassendorf a cozy atmosphere.
There’s never a dull moment in Bad Sassendorf, as the town has something to offer everyone—whether you’re seeking relaxation, love nature, or are interested in culture. The Börde Therme is the go-to spot for wellness enthusiasts. Here, you can soak in pleasantly warm saltwater and work up a sweat in the spacious sauna area. The spa gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll. The impressive graduation tower is also located here.
Westphalian cuisine is down-to-earth, hearty, and full of flavor. In the cozy restaurants and cafés in and around Bad Sassendorf, you’ll find specialties such as Westphalian bone-in ham, pumpernickel, or broad beans with bacon.
Tip: Be sure to try the Sassendorf salt creations. From salt pralines to dishes cooked in a salt crust, the “white gold” also features prominently on the menus.
