The Mayor participates in the celebration of the Old Salzstraße Halle-Prague association's anniversary.
In the heart of Germany, the festive hall of the Salzwirkerbruderschaft in Thale, located at the Saline, Mansfelder Straße 52, was the venue for a special celebration on July 19, 2025. The Alte Salzstraße Halle-Prag association, dedicated to promoting tourism along the historic Salt Road between Halle (Saale), Loessnitz, and Prague, celebrated its 15th anniversary.
Mayor Egbert Geier, a supporter of the association's mission, was present at the celebration, warmly welcoming members and invited guests. This was not the first time Mayor Geier had shown his support for the Salt Road; in 2023, he participated in the salt market in Loessnitz and even cycled the Salt Road to the Erzgebirge.
The celebration drew guests from Saxony's Loessnitz and the Czech Republic, reflecting the cross-border cooperation that the association fosters. The Salt Road, a historic route connecting Halle (Saale), Loessnitz, and Prague, is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that has taken place along this route for centuries.
The Alte Salzstraße Halle-Prag association has been instrumental in preserving this heritage and promoting tourism. However, further research is needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the association's history, activities, and specific contributions to tourism along the Salt Road. For detailed, authoritative information, consulting regional cultural heritage organizations, local tourism offices of Halle (Saale), Loessnitz, and Prague, or official association websites would be necessary.
The association's goal to promote tourism along the Salt Road is a commendable one, as it aims to not only preserve the past but also to share it with others, fostering a deeper appreciation for the rich history and culture of the region. As the celebration came to a close, it was clear that the Alte Salzstraße Halle-Prag association will continue to play a significant role in promoting tourism and cultural exchange along the historic Salt Road.
During the celebration, Mayor Geier emphasized the importance of supporting the Alte Salzstraße Halle-Prag association's mission, as their work contributes to the promotion of a unique lifestyle and travel experience, following the historic Salt Road. The anniversary event drew guests from Saxony's Loessnitz and the Czech Republic, highlighting the association's efforts to boost cross-border cooperation and bring traveling enthusiasts together.
