Highlight (Segment) • River

A great section of route along the stream. If you want, you can always change the side of the stream. Also great for cooling your feet after a long hike. ;-)

Bad Bocklet is the smallest of the Bavarian state baths in the Rhön. This does not affect the quality in any way. The most iron-rich spring in Germany bubbles up in the Kurpark. Calm and tranquility reign. Baden-Baden's sophistication is far away and even Bad Kissingen seems pompous here. The manageable but finely groomed spa facilities merge into a lush meadow landscape on the Franconian Saale that belongs to the spa. Once this has been crossed, it goes seamlessly into the nature of the Rhön. Conclusion: worth seeing and a good starting point for longer hiking tours.

Whether coming from below or from above: the paths along the cascading brook offer plenty of biking fun (of course, taking walkers and hikers into consideration). The route along the Kaskadenbach is also part of the "Hochrhöner" long-distance hiking trail.

From Wikipedia: Simon von Thüngen, one of the settlers on the Salzburg, had a "new Haws" built in 1451 on the site of today's Neuhaus. In 1767 the new owner, Egid Valentin Felix von Borié, had the Thüngen house torn down and replaced with a three-winged palace (today's spa and palace hotel).

Late baroque palace complex built in 1767, which shines in new splendor after extensive renovation in 2006 with special attention to detail and revives tradition in a sublime way. The existing rooms were last renovated in 2019, and twelve new rooms were opened at the end of 2020. Experience an oasis of calm in our rooms and suites, where historical ambience meets a family atmosphere.
