Bad Karlshafen, Baroque spa town in Kassel district, Germany.
Located at the meeting point of the Diemel and Weser rivers, Bad Karlshafen features thermal salt springs and traditional architecture across its 14.85 square kilometers.
The town, established in 1699 as Sieburg, provided refuge to French Huguenots and later changed its name to honor Charles I of Hesse-Kassel.
The Huguenot heritage remains visible in the town's baroque layout, designed by architect Paul du Ry in 1717 following specific urban planning principles.
The Weser Thermal Spa offers eight different saunas, multiple pools, and therapeutic treatments using spring water with 12 percent salinity content.
A floating boat sauna stationed on the Weser River allows visitors to experience thermal treatments while surrounded by the natural riverside environment.
