Bad Rothenfelde

Bad Rothenfelde is a spa town in Osnabrück district with multiple therapeutic saline springs surrounded by large graduation towers. The setting sits at about 100 meters elevation amid green spaces that invite visitors to walk and explore.

The town received its spa designation in the early 19th century when the healing properties of its saline springs were first recognized and used. This discovery transformed it into a destination for people seeking therapeutic treatments.

The Art/Light show transforms the graduation towers into an outdoor display every two years, creating large-scale illuminated exhibitions that bring the community together. This event reflects how visitors and residents engage with the landscape and its industrial heritage.

A weekly market runs every Wednesday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, offering regional cheese, sausages, flowers, and seasonal items. Arriving early gives you access to the best selection and a more relaxed shopping experience.

The salt grotto holds 20 tons of salt sourced from the Himalayas and Dead Sea for specialized healing sessions. This mineral-rich environment offers a rare experience found nowhere else in the region.
