Bad Kissingen: living in the here and now

Experiencing the essential things consciously

Not only the stress of everyday life makes people dull, too much of the daily overabundance of civilisation closes its eyes to the small, silent things of everyday life. In Bad Kissingen, visitors can learn to calm down and enjoy the moment. In other words, to be happy in the here and now.

Listening to the silence of nature

Since the 16th century, Bad Kissingen has been one of the well-known spas with mineral springs and natural mud. Richly gifted by nature, the town on the Franconian Saale offers its visitors a diverse range of hiking trails with places of relaxation and tranquillity. Those who come to Bad Kissingen for a cure are looking for a break from the stress of modern civilisation. Nowadays, many people have forgotten how to relax; even if they get the chance. However, the Bad Kissinger spa park with its rose garden, scent of flowers, delicate sounds of a violin and golden brown foliage in autumn appeals to all senses at the same time. Anyone who gets involved here in the rich, varied offer of nature and people, is automatically plunged into a pool of active happiness.

Experience Bad Kissingen with all your senses

In addition to rather passive baths in water or mud, you yourself can also get active outside. The "path of reflection" appeals to all the senses, literally. Between Heiligenhof and the Garitz car park, twelve works of art and texts have been set up, which encourage interpretations and associations, also and especially surrounded by the breathtaking nature of the city of Bad Kissingen. In Luitpold park, another gem waits to be discovered by its visitors. The combination of a barefoot labyrinth, Kneipp landscape and sound garden, called "Dreiklang" (triad), casts a spell over the eyes, ears, and nose of those they belong to. Whether in a deck chair or on a walk: with the music of birds in your ears, a special closeness to nature can be experienced here.

Food, drink and music in the Wandelhalle

A cure for everyday stress does not necessarily mean asceticism. Bad Kissingen is also famous for its delicious cuisine, including excellent wines and beers. Delicious feasting is allowed and even desired. Consciously enjoy good food with ingredients from the region - depending on your wishes with a 5-course menu or a hearty snack. Once again, all senses are addressed in the culinary city tour with star chefs.

Finding a way back to yourself with culture and nature

A slightly different kind of music plays almost daily in the Wandelhalle in Bad Kissingen. The 13-member spa orchestra sometimes plays gentle, sometimes rhythmic pieces that are stimulating and soothing at the same time. In warm summer weather, the concert shell is turned towards the spa park. From there, the music echoes over blades of grass, until it resonates to even more distant strollers. Those who find music a great way to relax will find a wide selection of rewarding events with open-air events, cabarets, and star musicians like the two violinists Nigel Kennedy and Hilary Hahn.
