Kur Bad Kreuth in the Tegernsee lake district of Upper Bavaria draws iodine-rich thermal waters from Alpine karst formations at the foot of the Rotwand and Blauberge mountains, where the tradition of Jod-Sole (iodine brine) has been developed since the 19th century in a landscape of extraordinary Bavarian alpine beauty. These iodine waters belong to a long thermal tradition associated with well-being, and the Kreuth spa operates within the private domain of the Wittelsbach dynasty's Tegernsee estate — the former monastery that became the Bavarian royal family's holiday retreat. The setting on Lake Tegernsee, with its Art Nouveau villas, Bavaria's finest beer garden at the historic Herzogliches Bräustüberl brewery, and the Schliersee-Spitzingsee alpine hiking country, creates one of Germany's most pleasurable combinations of cultural elegance and mountain wellness.

Insider tip — Tucked into the alpine valley below the Tegernsee, Bad Kreuth draws iodine-bearing thermal water from beneath limestone mountains where Bavarian kings once came to cure respiratory ailments. The surrounding Mangfall Alps ensure crisp post-bath air and outstanding hiking directly from the door. Autumn visits are particularly rewarding when the valley fog lifts to reveal rust-colored larch slopes.
