Bad Zurzach, municipality in Switzerland
Bad Zurzach is a town along the Rhine River near the German border, known for its warm mineral-rich thermal springs. The Therme Zurzach bathhouse with heated pools and the old town center with narrow streets and heritage buildings form the heart of the place.
People settled here since the Neolithic Age because of the thermal springs, and later Celts and Romans arrived in the area. The Roman ruins near Tenedo and the church of St. Verena still standing today show how thousands of years of settlement shaped this place.
The name Bad Zurzach, adopted in 2006, means spa town and reflects how thermal waters shaped local identity. Walking through the old market area with its narrow streets, you can see how the springs and bathing culture remain central to how residents and visitors experience this place today.
The town is easy to reach by train or bus with regular services to larger cities and surrounding areas. The place is small enough to explore on foot or by bicycle, and the countryside around it is ideal for cycling tours through fields and forests.
A well-known clothing company has its headquarters in Bad Zurzach, reflecting the strong local connection to wellness and health. About one-third of the residents come from abroad, giving the small town an international and welcoming feel despite its size.
