Bad Wurzach, Health resort town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Description
Bad Wurzach is a health resort town in Upper Swabia that spreads across several communities and is shaped by peatlands and wetlands. The town features numerous thermal and mineral spas where visitors can experience the healing properties of the natural waters.
History
The settlement first appeared in written records in 1273 and later endured difficult times, especially during the Thirty Years' War. Its transformation into a health resort came much later, once the healing power of the peatlands was recognized.
Culture
The crayfish featured in the town's coat of arms reflects the importance of water and natural resources to the community. Visitors can still sense the connection to traditional crafts and ways of life that shaped this corner of southern Germany.
Practical
The town is well equipped with thermal baths and offers many hiking trails through the surrounding countryside. A visit works year-round depending on whether you prefer spa time or exploring the natural landscape.
