Discover Bad Wörishofen

In the Unterallgäu region, Bad Wörishofen is one of the Kneipp spa resorts. When choosing a destination, there are several different options to consider: the spa gardens with their rose garden and barefoot path, public Kneipp facilities, a hiking route and historic sites in the town. You can also plan your journey by checking the train station and the connection to the thermal baths.

Spa gardens, Kneipp facilities and paths

The spa gardens in Bad Wörishofen have a rose garden with 6,000 rose bushes in 550 varieties. There is also a 1,200-metre-long barefoot path. These provide two specific points to help you plan your time in the spa gardens: a garden with a wide variety of rose varieties and a path whose length you can assess in advance.

There are 24 public Kneipp facilities in the town of Bad Wörishofen. Each facility has a sign showing the water temperature and providing instructions. Individual facilities may occasionally be unavailable. There are also three natural water-treading facilities in the Wörthbach stream. The local Kneipp options therefore include both facilities in town and natural water-treading facilities by the stream.

If you would like to plan a longer walk, the local circular route of the Allgäu Hiking Trilogy is a 5.2-kilometre route in Bad Wörishofen. For a direct comparison of lengths: the barefoot path in the spa gardens is 1,200 metres long, while the circular route is 5.2 kilometres.

Explore the town’s history for yourself

The historic town walk is designed for independent exploration. It includes a town map, information boards at the stops and QR code access to the Hearonymus app. This gives you several ways to learn about the town’s history.

The tower of St. Justina is about 700 years old and is believed to be the oldest building in the town of Bad Wörishofen. The historic bathhouse is also associated with Kneipp’s work: it was his first men’s bath, where he treated his patients. The historic promenade hall was originally 80 metres long and was the venue for Kneipp’s daily health education lectures. These three examples show different aspects of local history—a building with an approximate age, the former use of a bathhouse, and the promenade hall’s original length and function.

The Sebastian Kneipp Museum is located in the Dominican convent in the town centre. The Kneipp Museum in Bad Wörishofen has been open since 27 June 1986. Its collection comprises around 7,200 museum objects, about 650 of which are on display. These figures show the difference between the size of the collection and the number of objects exhibited.

Getting here and connections to the thermal baths

Bad Wörishofen has its own train station in the heart of town, with direct connections to Augsburg. As train services can change, it is advisable to check the latest connections with Deutsche Bahn before travelling. The thermal baths bus route connects Bad Wörishofen with the thermal baths. You should also check the latest timetable before travelling by bus, as services and timetables may change.

To decide whether Bad Wörishofen suits your planned stay, it may help to consider the different options: the spa gardens and Kneipp facilities, a 5.2-kilometre local circular route, or exploring historic sites independently. The distances and facilities mentioned provide specific guidance for planning your trip.
