![]() In the 19th century, Wiesbaden grew from a small village into a famous spa town. ![]() From both Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, you can easily get here by public transport. If you want to visit another spa town with a fantastic Kurpark, you should head to Bad Homburg. We didn’t have enough time for this activity, but it looks like a lot of fun and something we want to try at one point. If you come here in summer, you can rent a boat and row around the lake. Sit down on a bench and enjoy the nature around you or watch the locals. You can find it behind the Kurhaus, and it’s a great place to come to if you want to take a break. The Kurpark is a large park with a lake, flowers, and many paths to go for a walk. In fact, there are so many minerals in this water that you shouldn’t drink more than 400ml of it per day. In the end, the minerals were so strong that we only took a tiny sip of it. ![]() We took a bottle that we filled and then waited for the water to cool down. You can actually drink this water! Be careful, as it’s also hot. Next to the Kochbrunnen, you can find a smaller fountain. Most gets redirected to the Kaiser-Friedrich-Therme, where you can swim in it. Around 360 litres come out of it every minute, but you’ll only see a little bit of that water. Records first mentioned the spring in 1366. The water is hot enough that you can see steam rising from it. While you can dip your feet into the fountain, and we saw people do it, you need to be careful. Over the years, the minerals of this spring transformed the fountain so that you can see various shades of colour here. At the Kochbrunnen, the Koch fountain, you can see one of them. While it’s undoubtedly fun to soak in these waters, you should check out the springs in the city centre before you head to any spa. Many natural springs bubble up to the surface in this area and Wiesbaden is famous for its thermal waters. You can find multiple spa towns close to Frankfurt and Wiesbaden is one of them. I would say, still go check it out because it's a cool place but, heed my warnings.Top things to do in Wiesbaden #1 Taste the thermal water They'll smash your camera." Although this sounds like a helpful warning, the tone in her voice sounded like she wanted to smash it herself. They could at least try to make it a little less obvious.Īlso, my friend was taking a picture of how cool the store looked and an employee said "Don't take pictures of people without their permission. It makes me feel like a thief even though I've never stolen anything in my life. There is no feeling more uncomfortable than someone standing there and watching you blatantly. They will straight up follow you and stand there and watch you while you look at items. I'm assuming they do this because they don't have cameras but they don't ask you if you need help. The store is sort of in a horse shoe shape so when you go around the corner, employees follow you. ![]() The prices are reasonable for a touristy store where prices are usually through the roof and everyone speaks english.Ĭons- It's pretty crowded so you're trying to squeeze past people while not knocking stuff off the shelves. Positive- Some employees are sooooo nice and helpful. I have been here about four times and have a torn review.
