Bad Herrenalb, Spa town in Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Bad Herrenalb sits at 365 meters elevation in the Calw District, surrounded by forests and natural springs near Baden-Baden and Pforzheim.
The town grew around Alba Dominorum, a Cistercian monastery established in 1148, which influenced the area until its dissolution during the Reformation period.
The municipality maintains the traditions of German spa culture through mineral water treatments, following practices established by Dr. J. Weiss in 1841.
Transportation connects through the Albtalbahn electric railway system, linking Bad Herrenalb to Karlsruhe via the S1 line of Karlsruhe Stadtbahn.
In 1971, after drilling a 600-meter deep well that revealed mineral-rich water sources, the town officially added the prefix 'Bad' to its name.
