Fettquelle is a bicarbonated mineral spring with a name — meaning 'Fat Source' — that reflects the richly mineralised character of its waters. Long appreciated within a tradition of natural mineral hydration, this spring has served local communities drawn to its waters. The source continues to attract visitors who value traditional mineral water culture and the gentle qualities of bicarbonated springs associated with well-being.
Insider tip — Fettquelle is one of the historic mineral springs clustered around Baden-Baden in the Black Forest foothills, a spa town that has drawn European royalty since the 19th century. The bicarbonate-rich water at 38°C flows from deep thermal fissures beneath the Schwarzwald granite. Pair a sip of the mineral water at the Trinkhalle colonnade with an evening in the illuminated casino square for the full Baden-Baden experience.
