The salty Elisabeth spring rises deep in the Kyffhäuser mountains, the brine of which has been recognized as healing water and is used for treatment.

In the Panorama Museum, visitors are immersed in the monumental circular painting of the German Peasants' War - the artist Werner Tübke has created a unique scene with more than 3,000 figures on a canvas 14 meters high and 123 meters in circumference. The tower of the Oberkirche is leaner than the famous Tower of Pisa - the 640-year-old church tower is a full 4.60 meters out of plumb due to the geologically unstable subsoil.
