KURPARK
The spa gardens in the immediate vicinity of the clinic offer a variety of themed gardens, water features and exploration opportunities. A picturesque splendor and green oasis on 134,000 square meters.
JAPAN GARDEN
Small waterfalls, exotic plants and a granite arch bridge stand for typical Asian serenity. A master gardener from the Japanese twin city of Fuefuki brought this piece of Japan to the eastern spa park in 1996.
ROSE GARDEN
On around 1,800 square meters with around 30 different rose varieties and a cosy canopy lounger. Just below the Japanese garden, the rose garden invites you to linger. Relax on one of the comfortable benches or take a stroll among the noble roses, English roses, climbing roses and wild shrubs. An enchanting composition of fragrance and color. The picturesque little Rosenbach stream meanders from the rose garden towards Café Amadeus. On its way, it repeatedly runs through playful little fountain basins. Follow the stream and use one of the cozy quiet corners to read, chat or relax.
SONG GARDEN
The separate sound garden behind the Haus des Gastes also offers a break from everyday life, where the twittering of birds from the trees combines with meditative sounds to create a perfect symphony.
HEALING AND SPICE HERB GARDEN
The healing and spice herb garden at the Haus des Gastes and next to the Kneipp facility was created by the spa administration's nursery 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 designed to introduce visitors to this "herbal therapy". It is divided into 18 sections and includes plants that can be used to treat respiratory and urinary tract diseases or to make antispasmodic, bile flow stimulating, soothing, laxative, rheumatic or painkillers.
GRADIERPAVILLON
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 local blackthorn brushwood and "mists" visitors with fresh, salty air.
FUNNEL TEMPLE
For almost 200 years, Bad Mergentheim's three drinking springs have played an important role in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic disorders. You can benefit from their naturally powerful healing properties in the fountain temple in the spa gardens.
WATER TREATMENT
It usually happens in summer. When the sun drives the temperatures up, Sebastian Kneipp is back in vogue. 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.
PLAY & ACTIVITY IN THE OUTER SPA PARK
If you are looking for active relaxation, the Outer Spa Park is just the place for you. A wide range of activities, fun and games are on offer. Just a few minutes' walk from the clinic! Follow the path through the spa park, past the fountain and water treading pool and you will reach the outer spa park through a small underpass. You can also observe which guests are making themselves comfortable in the insect hotel or learn interesting facts about climate change on the climate trail. There is a lot to discover.

EXPERIENCE NATURE
WILDPARK
Would you prefer to look into the beady eyes of the cute raccoon or discover the mysterious amber glow in the owl's gaze? At Bad Mergentheim Wildlife Park, you can get close to the animals - very close indeed. 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 encounter bears, arctic foxes, wolves, elks, lynxes, wild cats, birds of prey and many other animals. The interaction of the individual animal species in their various habitats is impressively conveyed. "Back to nature" is the motto.
CULTURE
CASTLES & BURGEN
The vacation landscape "Liebliches Taubertal" from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Freudenberg am Main is a region steeped in culture. Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl already noted this 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 small states of the past, when counts, princes or noblemen - in accordance with their importance - created the cultural sights that are popular today. For example, the Bad Mergentheim Residential Palace, Weikersheim Castle and Wertheim Castle, the largest castle complex in Europe, are well worth a visit.
MONASTS & CHURCHES
In social terms, 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 in the region, for example the Schlosskirche Bad Mergentheim, the Herrgottskirche in Creglingen, the Stuppacher Madonna or the Bronnbach Monastery.
THEATRE, 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 in the summer months. Whether it's an open-air cinema in the nearby wildlife park or a cultural opera in the castle courtyard in Weikersheim. The program is varied and there is something for every taste, for example the TauberPhilharmonie Weikersheim, the Kino Movies Bad Mergentheim or the Frankenfestspiele Röttingen.
TOWN TOURS

If you want to know the story or stories behind them, simply book a guided tour of the town! You'll really get to know Bad Mergentheim on a guided tour of the town. Or would you have known that the statue at the Milchlingsbrunnen fountain actually depicts the wrong knight? On each tour, you will learn lots of exciting facts about the history of our town.
