The Wichtelhöhlen (Gnome Caves) near Bad Kissingen are an impressive rock formation made of red sandstone, created by erosion. It's especially lovely to take a few minutes to explore the winding caves and crevices up close. The place has a mystical quality and invites you to linger for a while. The Wichtelhöhle (Gnome Cave) is also a little adventure for children, as there's so much to discover.

At the Wichtelhöhlenhütte (Witch Cave Hut), there's a lovely seating area with benches, perfect for a short rest. If you take your time, you can not only enjoy the view of the rock formations, but with a little luck, you might also hear the birds chirping in the quiet forest. Ideal for a quick break with provisions before continuing on.

Very well maintained and sophisticated looking facility, worthwhile.

2. Today's plantings are based on the structure of the historical model in terms of new planting and care. The chestnut trees on the avenue are cut strictly in a box shape, and the lime tree arcade below the Fürstenhof also corresponds to the historical specifications. Old and rare trees can be admired in the park, including a "thousand-year-old oak" near the herb garden with a circumference of seven meters[1], as well as the ginkgo tree, the cucumber magnolia and the "oak-leaved hornbeam" (a mutation). Around 60 tree species are listed in the tree register created in 1992. Source:https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatsbad_Br%C3%BCckenau

1. In 1747, the Ticino Andrea Gallasini, court architect to the Prince Abbots of Fulda, designed a strictly symmetrically arranged garden, the main feature of which was the central axis, which still extends across the state spa today. Over the course of time, additions were made to the building ensemble, particularly by King Ludwig I. This also involved enlargements of the gardens. The baroque gardens were partially converted into an English garden. Despite many changing garden trends, the structure has been preserved to this day and is a defining feature of the park. In contrast to the unspoiled nature of the surrounding meadows and forests, it gives the ensemble a special charm. Source:https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatsbad_Br%C3%BCckenau

The origins of the spa park (more correctly the castle park) go back to the designs of the court architect Andrea Gallasini. According to these plans, a French garden was created between 1747 and 1749 for the prince abbots/prince-bishops of Fulda. After the dissolution of the Fulda monastery and the new borders during and after the Napoleonic era, the Brückenau office became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816. The Bavarian King Ludwig I, who reigned until 1848, used the site as a summer residence. During this time, numerous buildings flanking the park were built, such as the Kursaal building and the Badhotel.

For me it is always fascinating to look into the Grater.

Wonderful view from the Platzer Kuppe! There are many rest benches here to enjoy the view.
