Bad Buchau, Spa town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Bad Buchau is a spa town in Baden-Württemberg located near Lake Federsee, known for its thermal springs and healing waters. Extensive reed belts frame the lake and create a natural buffer between the town and the water body.
The town grew from an Imperial Abbey founded in 770 by Count Warin, which maintained independence for centuries. This status changed in 1803 during the German mediatisation, when the abbey lost its autonomy and became part of the secular state.
The Federseemuseum displays Stone Age and Bronze Age objects found during excavations around the lake, showing how communities lived in this region for thousands of years. Local traditions still reflect the connection between the town and its wetland environment.
The region features over 40 marked outdoor routes suitable for hiking and cycling year-round. Most paths are easily accessible and pass through nature reserves with several viewpoints for observing wildlife and landscapes.
Archaeological excavations revealed a late Bronze Age waterside fortification whose remains can still be seen near the lake. This settlement demonstrates how people inhabited this lakeside region more than 3,000 years ago.
