DISCOVERY TOUR ON THE TRAIL OF THE WET ELEMENT In the WasserSpiegel on the Mönchsberg, immerse yourself in the secrets of water. Water is a playful thing: It makes sense, then, that an exhibition focused on this wet element would also invite you to interact and experiment. Which is exactly what the Wasser- Spiegel does: In addition to numerous interactive stations, a laboratory gives children and teens the opportunity to conduct fun experiments as they explore water and its unique characteristics. The location for this exhibition wasn‘t chosen by chance. In fact, there are very concrete reasons: It was here on the Mönchsberg, close to the historic Richterhöhe, that an imposing mountain reservoir for drinking water was constructed in 1950. It can hold up to 25 million liters of drinking water, is 8.5 m deep and is today part of the Water Museum. For decades, drinking water from springs and natural sources located in Salzburg‘s surrounding communities has been pumped to this mighty holding tank, before continuing on its journey into the city itself: the broad network of pipes extends 870 km - roughly the same distance as from Salzburg to Copenhagen. The drinking water then pours from the taps into Salzburg homes, clear, clean and fresh with no further processing necessary.
