Albthermen Bad Urach

Albthermen Bad Urach is a thermal spa complex in the historic town of Bad Urach on the edge of the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg, where mineral spring waters from the limestone karst formations of the Jura hills provide the therapeutic foundation for one of the most beautifully situated thermal spas in southwestern Germany — a town whose medieval timber-framed market square, fifteenth-century collegiate church, and dramatic setting below the plateau edge of the Alb create a spa resort environment of extraordinary historical and scenic beauty. The mineral waters of Bad Urach — classified as a recognized Heilbad under Germany's rigorous scientific criteria — provide the physiological benefits of mineral bathing for musculoskeletal and circulatory conditions in the tradition of Swabian thermal medicine that has made this corner of Baden-Württemberg one of Germany's most pleasant thermal destinations. The nearby Urach Waterfall — one of the most spectacular in the Swabian Alb, where the Erms River drops 37 meters over limestone cliffs — adds a dimension of natural dramatic beauty to the thermal spa experience at Bad Urach that few German spa towns can match.
