エットリンゲンのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Small bridge over the Alb as a connection between Schweizer Wiese and the Falkensteinfelsen, as well as a beautiful view of the water.

The spa park in the heart of the city is characterized by its historic trees and spacious green spaces, making it a place to recharge your batteries. Its design offers two atmospheres: a "classic" one with cultivated park meadows, and a "wildly romantic" one with blooming riverside and forest meadows. The two sections are connected by bridges over the renaturalized Alb River.

A hall church with a recessed, Gothic choir with a three-eighth-window end. The church hall has a barrel-vaulted wooden ceiling with a three-part trefoil arch. The porch (Paradise) was built around 1200, now a ruin. The Paradise was raised in 1462 (tracery), the choir was built in 1478, and the tower and nave were built in 1739 (after extensive damage). Remodeled in 1903 by Heinrich Dolmetsch, painted by Wörnle, and renovated in 1987/1988.

In the spa park next to the Protestant monastery church there are three steles: the middle one with a fountain and inscription, the left one with the names 1939-1945 and the right one with the names 1914-1918.

On the facade of the former monastery administration building is the stone sculpture "Devil of Herrenalb." The sculpture was donated in 1999 by the Gernsbach artist Rolf Michels for the premiere of the medieval open-air play "The Devil of Bad Herrenalb."

The monastery tavern, probably founded in 1148, is one of the oldest inns in southern Germany. At the entrance, there's a distinctive sign featuring a dragon figure.

The serving of Bad Herrenalb's healing waters at the drinking pavilion by the spa building has a long tradition. Thermal springs were suspected to exist in Bad Herrenalb long ago. In 1963, the healing waters were discovered at a depth of 600 meters during drilling on the Schweizer Wiese (Swiss Meadow). Construction of the drinking pavilion began in the summer of 1965, and by September of that year, the healing water was flowing from the taps. This allowed the first drinking cures to be offered.

Bad Herrenalb station opened on July 2, 1898, and has served as the terminus of the Albtalbahn (Alb Valley Railway) from Karlsruhe ever since. The station building from that year has been preserved in exemplary condition and now houses the station restaurant, a passenger waiting room, the local driving school, and several apartments. An old goods shed also still exists. Unfortunately, the old two-bay locomotive shed with its turrets was demolished during the gauge conversion. A new depot for light rail vehicles has served as its replacement since 1975, and was expanded to two tracks in 1990. The gauge conversion also changed the entire appearance of the station, as a turning loop had to be built around the station building to allow the light rail vehicles to turn around. In 1979, the platforms were given a hall roof, created from the roof of the former Baden-Baden city station. To mark the official handover of the new hall, a station festival was held, which remains an integral part of the city's events calendar to this day.
