Bad Blankenburg, Spa resort in Thuringia, Germany.
Bad Blankenburg is a spa town in Thuringia situated at 225 meters elevation within rolling hills. The town draws on natural mineral springs to supply its wellness and health facilities.
Greifenstein Castle was built by German King Henry I and served the Schwarzburg counts as a residence from 1275 to 1583. This structure stands as an important witness to the region's medieval history.
The town is closely tied to Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel, who founded the world's first kindergarten here in 1837. This legacy shapes the town's identity and is reflected in its educational institutions.
The town maintains good transport connections to neighboring cities and offers year-round access to wellness facilities with mineral waters. Visitors should keep in mind the rolling terrain, making comfortable shoes a practical choice.
The town houses the headquarters of the Deutsche Evangelische Allianz, which coordinates Protestant churches across Germany. This broader role is unknown to many visitors and gives the place an additional religious significance.
