Heilbad Krumbad
Swabia’s oldest spa is located near Krumbach, forty kilometres west of Augsburg. It looks back on 600 years of bathing tradition. In addition to Kneipp treatments, there are many other wellness and health treatments. Krumbad is also a state-approved peloid (mud) spa. The silicic acid-containing bath stone is mined on site, ground into flour and used for medicinal purposes.

Waldsassen: A Baroque Bavarian Heaven
SPONSORED POST | The mighty monastery complex and the baroque collegiate basilica are what make up the image of the town of Waldsassen. The magnificent interior of the church captivates everyone. The abbess of the abbey can sometimes be seen taking a dip in the monastery garden. The Upper Palatinate dialect sounds unfamiliar to some. The “Oicherlwold”, for example, hides a place in the forest where hikers can enjoy the Waldsassen picnic service. Waldsassen is an excellent place for culinary delights and provides regional specialities for a good snack. Let’s go to the monastic city!
