    Hiking

    In 1839, experts came across this mineral spring during construction work on behalf of the margrave. The source then got its name in honor of the margrave's wife. Today the healing water is diverted to the anteroom of the Rotherma.

    Hiking

    The historic Elisabethsquelle was discovered in 1839 and used as an iron-rich natural mineral water for drinking and bathing cures. The healing water from the spring is now channelled into the Rotherma thermal bath.

    At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and "Noch'n Gedicht", with a short quatrain:
    "There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
    on the element, the wet.
    Because you can drink the water.
    But you can - also leave it alone. "
    (H.Erhardt)
