The spa gardens in Bad Steben were created to offer both guests and locals a chance to escape from everyday life and enjoy the magnificent floral displays and the splashing fountains. Few people know that many years ago, there was a mine right next to the spa square. If you look closely, you can still see traces of the past in the ground. Back then, iron and copper were extracted from the depths using the simplest of means.

Beautiful parks with numerous paths for a walk, jogging or walking and plenty of seating and loungers to linger there. The spa park Bad Steben has been a listed building since 2010. After it was appointed Royal Bavarian State Spa in 1832, the buildings and spa facilities that characterize the spa to this day were built. The Klenzebau in the spa gardens was built in 1837 as a bathhouse based on designs by Leo von Klenze. The main creators of the spa garden are the two garden architects Arthur Andreas Singer, spa gardener and royal court gardener, who had already designed the facilities in the other Bavarian state spas in Bad Brückenau and Bad Kissingen, and his son Wolfgang. top-platz.de/bad-pyrmont-5-2
