How does a river flow beneath a city? It might sound strange, but here at the Grabenbach Schacht, you’re standing above a hidden waterway. The Grabenbach Schacht marks a point where the Grabenbach River reemerges after traveling underground. This isn’t some natural phenomenon. It’s a feat of 16th-century engineering! Picture this: It’s the 1520s, and the salt mines of Bad Reichenhall have a problem – freshwater seeping into the precious salt deposits. Their solution? Construct a subterranean channel to divert the water away. This ingenious waterway, the Grabenbach, was completed in 1538. The Grabenbach Schacht is one of several air shafts built along its length. Today, it offers a glimpse into this hidden world. Peer down, and you might even catch sight of the river flowing far below. It’s a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder that even beneath the bustle of a modern city, history flows on.
