Bad Kösen

Bad Kösen is a spa town in the Saale-Unstrut wine region along the Saale River, known for its salt springs and location at about 115 meters elevation. The area features parks, historical buildings, and facilities including salt graduation towers and a spa complex.

The area received recognition as an official spa town in 1935 and changed its name from Kösen to Bad Kösen due to its thermal springs. The medieval Romanesque buildings date to the 12th century and indicate the region's early development.

The Romanesque House displays medieval architecture along the Romanesque Road and reflects its origins as a monastery farm. Visitors can directly observe these building details today and understand how the area was shaped by its past.

The district has a train station that connects it to neighboring cities and ensures good accessibility. The spa facility offers treatments and parks that can be explored on foot.

The Kösener Toy Manufacture produces handcrafted toys using natural materials and has maintained this tradition for nearly a century. Visitors can observe how traditional craftsmanship techniques remain in use in production today.
