Small waterfalls, exotic plants and a granite arch bridge represent typical Asian balance. A master gardener from the Japanese twin town of Fuefuki brought this piece of Japan to the eastern spa park in 1996.
ROSE GARDEN
on about 1,800 square meters with about 30 different rose varieties and a cozy sky lounger. Just below the Japanese garden, the rose garden invites you to linger.

From the rose garden, the small picturesque Rosenbach stream winds its way towards Café Amadeus. On its way, it repeatedly passes through playful little fountain pools. Follow the little stream and use one of the cozy resting corners to read, chat or relax.
KLANGGARTEN
A time-out from everyday life is also offered by the separate sound garden behind the Haus des Gastes, where the chirping of birds from the trees combines with meditative sounds to form a perfect symphony.
MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC HERB GARDEN
The medicinal and aromatic herb garden at the Haus des Gastes and next to the Kneipp facility was created by the gardening department of the spa administration with the kind support of Bad Mergentheim pharmacies. The Kneipp philosophy combines the five pillars of water, plants, exercise, nutrition and balance into a holistic approach to healthy living. The medicinal and aromatic herb garden is intended to give visitors an understanding of this "herbal therapy". It is divided into 18 sections and shows, among other things, plants that can be used to treat diseases of the respiratory tract, urinary tract or to prepare antispasmodic, bile flow stimulating, calming as well as laxative, rheumatic or painkillers.
GRADUATION PAVILION
How about a salty-fresh sea breeze in the middle of Bad Mergentheim?
In the graduation pavilion, the brine water from Bad Mergentheim's Paulsquelle spring trickles down native blackthorn twigs and "mists" visitors with fresh, salty air.
FUEL TEMPLE
Bad Mergentheim's three drinking springs have been used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic disorders for almost 200 years. In the fountain temple in the spa park you can take advantage of their naturally powerful healing effects.
WATER TREADING FACILITY
It usually happens in summer. When the sun drives the temperatures up, Sebastian Kneipp is again in high demand. Or at least the Kneipp facility, named after the priest from Swabia. Nothing for cold feet! Here in the Lovely Tauber Valley you will also find several water treading facilities. We have listed the two most beautiful ones below.

In the Bad Mergentheim Wildlife Park, you can get close to the animals - very close, in fact. You will realize this at the latest when you come face to face with what is probably the largest pack of wolves in Europe. You will meet bears, polar foxes, wolves, elks, lynxes, wild cats, birds of prey and many other animals. The interaction of the individual animal species in their different habitats is impressively conveyed. "Back to nature" is the motto.
CULTURE
CASTLES & PALACES
The vacation landscape "Liebliches Taubertal" from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Freudenberg am Main is a region rich in culture. Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl already noted during his hike in 1865: "A walk through the Tauber Valley is a walk through German history, is a walk through the old empire". This statement is still valid today. In almost every town, municipality or village you will come across a castle, a palace, a monastery or a garden worth seeing. This can be traced back to the former small states, when counts, princes or noblemen - according to their importance - created the cultural sights that are popularly visited today. Worth seeing are for example the residence castle Bad Mergentheim, the castle Weikersheim and the castle Wertheim as the largest castle complex in Europe.
MONASTERIES & CHURCHES
From a social point of view, religion can be understood as a perspective on life and the world. In churches and monasteries, this perspective takes concrete form in architecture and design. Explore the monasteries & churches of the region, for example the Schlosskirche Bad Mergentheim, the Herrgottskirche in Creglingen, the Stuppacher Madonna or the Bronnbach Monastery.
THEATER, CINEMA & CONCERT
How about a pleasant evening at the cinema or an open-air theater or concert. The region offers a variety of open air events during the summer months. No matter if you go to the open air cinema in the nearby game park or to the cultural opera in the castle courtyard in Weikersheim. The program is colorful and there is something for every taste, for example the TauberPhilharmonie Weikersheim, the cinema Movies Bad Mergentheim or the Frankenfestspiele Röttingen.
