Water temperature…
Bad Wörishofen in the Swabian district of Unterallgäu achieved world fame through the work of priest Sebastian Kneipp, who developed his famous water cure here in the 19th century. Originally a farming village, the place quickly transformed into a sophisticated spa town due to the success of Kneipp therapy. The holistic healing method, based on the five pillars of water, plants, movement, nutrition, and balance, still shapes the entire cityscape and the local economy today. Numerous hotels and sanatoriums offer specialized treatments, and the extensive spa gardens with their Kneipp facilities and fragrant gardens invite relaxation. In addition to health tourism, Bad Wörishofen is also known for its cultural events, such as the 'Festival of Nations'. Its location on the edge of the Allgäu region also provides convenient conditions for hiking and excursions into nature, while the modern Bad Wörishofen thermal baths with their South Seas atmosphere also appeal to younger target groups.
