Bad Griesbach's thermal water is often referred to as the "gold of Bad Griesbach". It wells up from a depth of 1,522 metres and is naturally heated to temperatures of 30, 38 or 60 degrees Celsius. Since the thermal springs began to well up at the beginning of the 1970s, this 'gold' has undergone a few changes. A modern thermal spa complex very quickly sprang up alongside the traditional Bavarian old quarter, turning Bad Griesbach's gold into something magical for your health. In addition to the Wohlfühl thermal spa which has a total of more than 1.600m² of water, many of the town's hotels also have their own thermal pools. Many establishments also have covered corridors offering you direct access to the Wohlfühl thermal spa in your bathrobe. If you want to immerse yourself in a world of rest and relaxation, you're in the right place.

Water is the basic element of all life. At the thermal spa complex in Bad Griesbach, it is also the basis of a truly remarkable experience. Listen to the crashing waterfalls, let the tropical surroundings whisk you away to distant lands, or enjoy the invigorating effect of the bubble loungers, massaging water jets and jacuzzi. In addition, the wonderfully warm "Bad Griesbach gold" is a source of good health and regeneration. Containing natural fluoride and high levels of sodium, hydrogen carbonate and chloride, the thermal waters can alleviate chronic rheumatic complaints and degenerative diseases of the spine, for instance. It promotes rehabilitation after operations and injuries, and is also approved as a drinking cure for the treatment of osteoporosis and age-related musculo-skeletal atrophy. Whether you wish to swim at a brisk pace or enjoy a leisurely bathe, boost your circulation in the large Kneipp hydrotherapy pool or restore your health in the therapy pool – in the 13 different pools at the Wohlfühl thermal spa, all of which are filled exclusively with natural thermal mineral water, you're guaranteed to find your very own spa heaven.

Bad Griesbach in swing: When Bad Griesbach is referred to as the golfing mecca of Germany, we modest folk from Bavaria almost feel a little embarrassed. On the other hand, we are also proud that golfing in Bad Griesbach is such a superlative experience. The resort has six 18-hole championship courses, three 9-hole courses, a 6-hole children's course and the "Golfodrom®". It's incredible: three courses designed by Bernhard Langer in one place and at one club. Bad Griesbach is home to Europe's largest golf resort and the world's largest golf school, which employs 37 pros. With an incredible selection of more than 180 tournaments throughout the year, Bad Griesbach has earned itself a reputation as a leading golfing destination. You couldn't find better conditions for a very special personal golfing experience in fantastic surroundings. Take up the challenge of the slopes and the differences in altitude at the Aldiana Golf Course in Lederbach, put your putting skills to the test on the extensive greens in Uttlau, demonstrate your sporting finesse at the demanding Brunnwies Golf Course (designed by Bernhard Langer) or at the Sagmühle course with its expanses of water. You can also enjoy the unique character of the Beckenbauer Golf Course (designed by Bernhard Langer) where the greens are separated from the water by stone walls. And last but not least, the Jaguar Golf Course has a unique charm with its extremely undulating fairways. Such a varied choice of golfing facilities is extremely hard to find - and we are admittedly proud of this fact! Learn like the professionals. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced player – you can always learn something in Bad Griesbach, with a course at the Bad Griesbach Golf Academy.

Never stop moving! Buzzing with energy. Active holidays in Bad Griesbach. Even if you don't play golf, you'll find plenty of other sporting activities to indulge in. How about some Nordic walking, for example? Bad Griesbach offers active holidaymakers the chance to experience this new niche sport that combines fitness, fun and fabulous scenery, and it has the most extensive network of Nordic walking trails in Germany. With 17 different trails covering a total of 150 kilometres, including a circular marathon route, an overall difference in altitude of 900 metres, and a wide variety of routes traversing the forest floor, gravel paths, farm tracks or soft meadows - Bad Griesbach's network of Nordic walking trails has something for all levels. More than 60 qualified trainers offer tips and information to both beginners and more experienced athletes to help make this new leisure activity healthy, efficient and enjoyable. Another completely new attraction in Bad Griesbach is the Nordic Active Center: in addition to Nordic walking, the spa garden also offers a new fitness activity with its Nordic Fitness Circle. The only thing that the new fitness trail has in common with the 'keep-fit trails' of the 1970s is the desire to help a broad group of users to improve their health and fitness by taking part in fun, enjoyable sports activities. Otherwise, the new concept has more similarities with a state-of-the-art fitness studio – but an open-air one. The five training islands comprise various items of equipment made of wood and steel, and provide the perfect combination of sporting activity, relaxation and enjoyment. Relaxation for the body and mind – and for your feet, too: at the new barefoot trail. Unrestricted by shoes, your feet have the opportunity to enjoy some fresh air and experience a completely new set of sensations on a variety of surfaces, treading on sand, sandstone, limestone, a path made of sticks, various granulations of gravel, granite paving slabs, balancing blocks, split basalt, cobblestones, boulders and logs. At the end, your feet get treated to a dip in a Kneipp pool. Shoes must be left outside in the storage provided. And there's another new attraction: anti-frost gravel, fleece and wood chips – a combination that makes walking particularly easy on your joints. With its soft, flexible surface, this medicinal training path makes it easier to take steps and is therefore used to practise and strengthen the relevant movements after operations. The trail runs for 400 metres along the edge of the Kurwald forest to the viewing pavilion in the west of the Bad Griesbach thermal complex. At all three new facilities there are regular dates for group sports sessions with experienced trainers. Naturally, there are many more sport & leisure facilities on offer in Bad Griesbach: fitness studios for building your strength and stamina, indoor and outdoor tennis courts where you can practise your loop and slice, running and skating to improve your fitness. There's also the Rottal cycle route, various themed routes, pilgrimage trails, cross-country skiing and much more besides. Combine this with massages, steamrooms, a relaxing day at the thermal spa or the Hamam Turkish bath, and you can put together your very own sports holiday. To keep even the youngest visitors entertained, Bad Griesbach also has a new pirate ship adventure forest, wooden skittles, a trampoline, swing and sandcastles to be discovered.

The countryside passes slowly beneath you and the Alps rise majestically in the distance. Free as a bird on the wing, you glide over the hills and valleys, fields, meadows and winding streams. Up, up and away! A flight in a hot-air balloon is as much a part of the Bad Griesbach experience as whizzing down the slide in the heated outdoor pool. If you would rather explore the countryside of the Rottal valley from the ground - no problem. You can hire a bike, try your hand at horse riding, or explore 130km of marked footpaths, either on your own or on a guided tour. Your efforts will be rewarded with a Bad Griesbach hiking badge. Bad Griesbach's high ropes course is a very special experience indeed – a chance to develop new skills at a height of 13 metres. Bad Griesbach also has plenty to keep your mind active. The spa town is an official German bridge centre with its own bridge club. The perfect place, therefore, to learn, practise and perfect your game so you are ready to compete in one of the many high-calibre tournaments. After all these activities, you can always look forward to an entertaining evening: a gentle game of bowls, asphalt curling, outdoor chess, or going for a dance with friends. Gaze over the water and reflect on the day's events, while trying to hook yourself a fish. Alternatively, you can visit the municipal gallery, attend a concert in the newly renovated spa hall or enjoy some fine dining. Feel alive and safe in the knowledge that everything is as it should be. Simply do whatever takes your fancy – Bad Griesbach will help you on your way.

The most beautiful aspects of Bad Griesbach: a beautiful land of cheer. It's just like being invited to a friend's house. Everything is so familiar, and yet there's always a chance you'll discover something new. Experiences and impressions, the unexplored and the unknown, encounters and scenes that will stay with you for a long time to come. You'll have a sense that you've always belonged here, and you'll soon realise that an invitation to Bad Griesbach is also an opportunity for self-discovery! Festivals and fairs: It's no secret that the people of Lower Bavaria know how to party. In the area around Bad Griesbach, there are a number of towns and villages with their own fire brigade festivals, club parties, markets, dances and traditional fun fairs. Many of them are deeply rooted in tradition, and there are a few modern additions too. However, they all have one thing in common - they are as original, welcoming and genuine as the people that live here. Bad Griesbach has three main festivals that take pride of place during the summer. The Spa Festival enchants locals and visitors alike with its spectacular firework display in the last week of June, while in mid-June the old quarter is bathed in the romantic glow of hundreds of colourful lanterns at the Lantern Festival. The festival season culminates at the end of August with the third largest fair in Bavaria, the Karpfham Festival. Highlights include the famous carriage drawn by ten horses. Visitors can be sure of a warm welcome wherever they go. Come and join the celebrations, which are a great opportunity to get even closer acquainted with the region and its people than you thought possible.

Bad Griesbach offers plenty of variety: whether in the town itself or in the surrounding area – there are plenty of attractions to explore. How about a trip to Ortenburg Castle, for instance? A place where history was written. With its arbours and paintings, banqueting hall with its intricate inlaid ceilings and magnificent tombs in the late-Gothic parish church, this Renaissance-style castle bears eloquent witness to this. A visit to Passau, the "town on three rivers", is always a pleasurable experience, as it has a lot to offer - for visitors interested in art and events, as well as those who prefer browsing the shops in the old quarter. Regensburg, Salzburg and Landshut are a bit further away, but also well worth a visit. Are you a bit of a history buff? If so, the Bruder-Konrad-Hof in Parzham and the St. Leonhard Museum in Aigen are a great way to learn more about rural life in the Rottal valley. The Pullmann City Western town, on the other hand, is an absolute must for fans of the Wild West. Bad Griesbach is an ideal base for a variety of cultural tours.
