Bad Wimpfen, Spa town in Heilbronn district, Germany.
Bad Wimpfen is a spa town in Heilbronn district situated on the western bank of the Neckar River, divided into Upper and Lower Wimpfen. Both sections sit at approximately 195 meters in elevation and combine medieval buildings with contemporary health facilities.
Settlement began in Neolithic times and later became a Roman fort around 98 AD before developing into a medieval market town in the 10th century. Salt production starting in 1817 transformed the place into a spa destination and shaped its modern identity.
The old town center displays medieval timber-framed houses and narrow alleys that reflect how residents lived for centuries. Walking through these streets, you experience the layout and building styles that shaped daily life from the Middle Ages onward.
The thermal facilities use natural salt water and offer various treatments for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes, as exploring both town sections involves walking on hilly terrain.
The Blue Tower is the tallest structure and served as a fire watchtower for the medieval fortifications until 1920. This overlooked function reveals how long traditional security systems remained in use.
