Bathe in the splendour of Baden-Baden
23rd May 2008
For those who consider a short break to be an opportunity to recharge their batteries, Baden-Baden offers the perfect retreat.
Located close to the western border of Germany in the Black Forest region, Baden-Baden is synonymous with relaxation and purification. Indeed, its name roughly translates as 'bathe bathe'.
The soothing springs of the town first drew attention during the reign of the Roman empire and have attracted visitors ever since. Today, wellness is still an important offering at Baden-Baden, with various spas available to help visitors refresh. With thermal baths such as those at Caracalla offering a range of rejuvenating services, Baden-Baden refuses to let its guests leave with any worries still in tow.
That said, the area is not solely concerned with detoxification - it is also famed for its excellent wine-producing tradition. The Rebland wine region boasts many vineyards, each producing their own specialties. Riesling is one of the more popular varieties produced along the wine route - be sure to stop off and sample a glass or even buy a bottle or two.
Architecturally, Baden-Baden is a melting pot of influences that keeps sightseers on their toes. From the 19th-century Russian church to the medieval Hohenbaden Castle, exploring the town's landmarks is a journey through its history.
Reinvigorate yourself with a break in Baden-Baden.
