Hiking
The Philippsquelle is one of the three state-recognized healing springs in Bad Orb, whose carbonated brine is extracted from a depth of around 73 meters. Its saline brine (with around 1.6% brine content) feeds, among other things, the Gradierwerk (graduation works) and the pools of the Toskana Therme, and is used for brine baths and inhalation therapies. In honor of the healing water, a dedicated spring temple has been erected on the historic city wall, which today, for reasons of spring protection, is symbolically operated with fresh water.
