Spa Park and Kneipp Park

Bad Lausick Spa Park covers 24 hectares and was laid out in the English style around 1880. Its specific attractions include a rose garden and the Kneipp Park by Schwanenteich pond, with a walking pool, fitness circuit and fountain. You can tailor your time in the park to the garden or the Kneipp facilities. The rose garden changes in appearance with the seasons. If you want to make specific use of the Kneipp facilities, check the current amenities in advance, as facilities may change.

Local History and Historic Mills

The Spa and Local History Museum presents Bad Lausick’s eventful history in seven exhibition rooms, with a particular focus on its development as a spa and bathing resort. The discovery of the healing waters helped Bad Lausick develop into a spa town from 1820 onward; this development included bathhouses, pavilions and two spa houses. The museum also regularly presents special exhibitions on regional or historically significant topics; the program may change.

Two other historic attractions are the Ballendorf and Ebersbach post mills. The mill in Ballendorf has a complete, functioning set of mill equipment. The Ebersbach post mill was built in 1859. Visits to both mills can be arranged by prior appointment.
