Water temperature…
Situated at the foot of the Eggegebirge and bordering the sandy heathlands of the Senne region, Bad Lippspringe is a traditional spa town highly regarded for its gentle, therapeutic climate. The town is uniquely defined by its abundant waters: inside the scenic Arminius Park, the Lippe river springs from one of Germany's most powerful karst sources, while the Jordan spring bubbles up just a few meters away. Arminius Park, characterized by centuries-old trees and animated floral displays, serves as the town's green heart. It blends seamlessly into a sprawling forest park that served as the remarkable centerpiece for a major regional garden exhibition in 2017. Bordering this verdant oasis are the striking ruins of Lippspringe Castle, a 14th-century stronghold that anchors the town's medieval history. After exploring the trails, visitors often retreat to the modern Westfalen-Therme, an expansive thermal bath and sauna complex designed for ultimate relaxation. Nature enthusiasts frequently use the town as a basecamp to explore the adjacent Senne landscape, a unique ecological zone of blooming heather where wild horses graze and rare bird species thrive.
