Bad Griesbach im Rottal is a cornerstone of the Lower Bavarian Spa Triangle, offering a unique combination of world-class health services and international top-tier sports. The town's transformation into a major resort began in the 1970s with the discovery of thermal waters springing from depths of up to 1,522 meters. The 'Wohlfühl-Therme' remains the centerpiece of the spa district, providing healing fluoride-bearing sulfur thermal water. Alongside its medical reputation, Bad Griesbach has become a global golf destination: featuring six 18-hole championship courses and the world's largest golf training center, it gives facilities that are second to none in Europe. The historic old town, perched on a hill, has an appealing contrast to the modern spa facilities in the valley. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Rottal, often called the 'Bavarian Tuscany,' the area is a prime location for Nordic walking and cycling. Bavarian hospitality and a rich calendar of local events make Bad Griesbach a premier holistic destination for wellness and leisure.
