Salt Road from Bad Sülze-Dändorf-Wismar, 1243–1907

For a long time, salt was one of the few goods for which long, often arduous transportation routes were worthwhile. So-called salt roads were primarily constructed between salt works or mines and salt-poor regions. The color photograph shows an information board depicting the salt road between Bad Sülze via Dändorf to Dierhagen (and from there to Wismar) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in north-eastern Germany.
