The springs formed the basis for Bad Mergentheim as a spa town and international health resort. The decisive event was the discovery of salty water by a shepherd and his sheep in 1826.

Three of the four springs, Albertquelle, Karlsquelle and Wilhelmsquelle, are drinking springs based on their mineral composition, whereas the Paulsquelle, which is unsuitable for drinking, is a bathing spring.

The Blutseemoor near Kist is a nature reserve in the Irtenberger Forest, which is part of the fauna-flora-habitat areas (FFH). It is known for its swinging lawn, which is the largest in Lower Franconia and floats on an underground body of water. The name Blutsee comes from a type of algae that sometimes turns the water red. The moor is not allowed to be entered as it is life-threatening.

By the way, the Wilhelmsquelle has a very special meaning for Bad Mergentheim: it is our “original source”. In 1826, a shepherd discovered the spring by accident and thus initiated the development of Bad Mergentheim into a spa town. It was then named after King Wilhelm I, who personally came to Bad Mergentheim for the inauguration.
