バートエルスターのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

One of the parks that wind through the town. Often you only have to cross the street briefly and you're in the next park.

Very beautiful spa park with small boutiques, cafés, restaurants, a concert stage, etc. Beautifully laid out, and always something going on.

At night, the building is beautifully staged thanks to the lighting.

The Flora Temple, created in 1909 on the south side of Lake Louisa, depicts Flora, the goddess of spring and flowers, and is now one of Bad Elster's most romantic spots. The original bronze statue, created by the renowned sculptor Peter Pöppelmann, fell victim to World War II. In 1994, a new Flora statue was created based on a design by the sculptor Ernst Julius Hähnel from 1842. Donors from Elster made it possible to have it cast in an Elster art foundry. The ceremonial unveiling took place on September 13, 1997.

St. Elisabeth Church was consecrated in 1913. ----------------------------- As the "Mother of the Poor," Elisabeth of Thuringia was known for her helpfulness and charity. Born in Hungary in 1207, the bright princess was at the center of political interest. At just four years old, she was betrothed to the 14-year-old heir to the throne of the Landgrave of Thuringia, Ludwig, and grew up at Wartburg Castle. After their marriage in 1221, Elisabeth gave birth to three children. The stark contrasts between life in the castle and that in the village, between wealth and poverty, contradicted Elisabeth's Christian sensibilities. Based on her faith, she tried to live out her love of God and neighbor in a very concrete way. She wore simple clothes, attended church services without jewelry, fasted and performed daily penances, cared for the poor and sick, nursed lepers, and took in orphans. She was a truly revolutionary figure who also became a bone of contention in court circles.

Imposing ornamental plants and water features in front of the Royal Kurhaus make for a wonderful place to stroll and relax.

Beautifully laid out and very well-maintained paths, simply great 😊

A beautifully landscaped park, with flowers and plants blooming magnificently and colorfully. A stroll through the park is relaxing and a feast for the eyes.👍
