Bad Hersfeld, Spa town in Hesse, Germany.

Bad Hersfeld stands at 212 meters above sea level in northeastern Hesse, with the ruins of a Romanesque church at its center.

The settlement began in 769 when monk Sturm established a monastic community in Haerulfisfeld, which later developed into the influential Hersfeld Abbey.

The annual Bad Hersfelder Festspiele takes place within the monastery ruins, presenting theatrical performances throughout the summer season.

The town connects to major German cities through the A4 and A7 motorways, while frequent trains link to Frankfurt and Göttingen.

The Lullusfest, first celebrated in 852, continues annually on October 16, making it Germany's oldest documented folk festival.
