Spa and rose town of Bad Langensalza

The history of our city goes back to people who succumbed to the magical spell of this fantastic landscape over a
thousand years ago and therefore settled here. Bad Langensalza was first mentioned in a document in 932, in
Ottonian times.
The history of the former flourishing trading town is omnipresent here and can be experienced through the
backdrop of historical buildings and monuments.

Blooming gardens, soothing thermal brine water and a lovingly designed cityscape make Bad Langensalza a
true gem on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Hainich National Park. With ten parks and themed gardens,
Bad Langensalza has made a name for itself as the most flourishing city in Europe. In summer, stroll along the
fragrant flowers of the rose garden or be invited on a trip to the Far East in the Japanese Garden. The ideal
complement to the city's floral scent is the rustling of leaves in the nearby Hainich National Park. Here you can
enjoy a wonderful view over the Hainich on the treetop path and learn interesting facts about flora and fauna in
the root cave underground. You can end your stay in the spa town in a relaxed manner in the soothing brine
water, the sauna area or in the wellness area of ​​the Friederiken Therme.

The historical backdrop allows everyone to discover, marvel and experience.
History and the present create a distinctive atmosphere in Bad Langensalza and it is difficult not to be enchanted
by the picturesque narrow streets and the architecture of the buildings from different eras. A special feature is
the city's well-preserved historic city wall. Seventeen of the towers and one gate still remain today.

Due to its historical significance and the fact that Bad Langensalza has not suffered widespread destruction
since the 14th century, the city has a nationally outstanding housing stock that offers an overview of the
development of half-timbered buildings from the 14th to the 20th century.

Thuringia's unique Rumpelburg children's adventure world offers great family fun in a converted former
half-timbered barn in the city center. Adventurous paths lead over several floors through lattice tubes, over net
bridges and slides.

Friends of medieval culture will also get their money's worth in Bad Langensalza. Once a year, knights, jugglers,
musicians and merchants take over the power at the medieval town festival.
