Bad Karlshafen (Low German: Korlshoawen) is a spa town in the Kassel district and the northernmost municipality in Hesse.

The town, which covers an area of 14.85 km², has a population of 3,778, of which 2,300 live in the Bad Karlshafen district and 1,600 in the Helmarshausen district (a climatic health resort, an independent municipality until 1972).

Since 1977, Karlshafen has been known as Bad Karlshafen and is also promoted as a saltwater spa and baroque town. The town is a state-recognized spa.

The historic Weser port was cut off from the Weser River in the 1920s. In 2018, it was reconnected to the Weser River; thanks to a lock, the water level in the port is independent of that in the Weser River.

There are still many beautiful old houses and charming little restaurants right on the Weser River and at the city harbor.
A trip to Krukenburg Castle is recommended.
From the Huguenot Tower, you have a beautiful view of the city.

Like the entire Weser cycle path, this section is well developed and can be easily ridden with a normal trekking bike.
