Nahegelage Bad Kreuznach – Komm näher Festival

The Salinental as a Venue

The Salinental in Bad Kreuznach is one of Germany's most important natural healing sites. Graduation towers, huge wooden structures, stretch for several hundred meters, over which brine trickles down, generating salty air through evaporation. The atmosphere on-site has a healing effect on respiratory diseases and has been used therapeutically since the 18th century.

Wine in the Salinental

The venue combines natural atmosphere, historic industrial culture, and brine to create an unusual setting for a wine festival. The Nahegelage uses this backdrop to present the wines of the Nahe winemakers in an atmosphere that is unique in the German wine festival landscape. The salty air, the changing light on the graduation towers, and the wide view over the Salinental create a special mood.

Komm näher Festival

Komm näher is the festival and event series of the Nahe winemakers, which takes place at various special venues in the wine-growing region. The Nahegelage is the Bad Kreuznach stop, alongside other stops like Rebenbeben in Wallhausen or the Nahebar in Guldental. The individual events follow a common concept that focuses on high atmosphere, good wines, and personal encounters with the winemakers.

Music and Culinary Offerings

The music is tailored to the format and atmosphere of the Salinental. Acoustic sets, jazz, or subtly performed cover bands are suitable. The culinary offerings focus on regional specialties that pair well with Nahe wines.
