Bad Soden am Taunus

Idyllically situated on the southern slope of mountain Taunus, the spa town Bad Soden is well known with its various springs. The town is a nice mixture between modern architecture, nature and a traditional spa town.


The Quellpark is situated in the old town of Bad Soden and inspires visitors with its vast green areas, old trees, beautiful designed paths and many places to just sit and relax. 



The mineral spring Solbrunnen is the first mentioned spring in Baden Soden. 



The beautiful pavilion with the Sodenia statue is one of the landmarks of the city. Its waters are well examined and used for drinking and spa procedures.



Here we enjoyed a beautiful walk along the small stream.







Close to Solbrunnen is the residential building Hundertwasserhaus, a landmark of the town and very impressive with its artistic motives.


In the park is also the Protestant church and the Trinkhalle where water from the springs was served but nowadays the building is used as a dancing school.




It was really nice and relaxing to stroll along the beautiful center. Here we saw the fountain of the Kurgastes, a very interesting fountain of bronze figures with movable joints.


Another big park in the town is the Alte Kurpark, in the center of Bad Soden, which fascinates with its wide variety of old and exotic plants. The magnificent old rare trees bring charm to the park. There are also several buildings like Paulinen Palace, Medico Palace and the old spa house Badehaus. 








In the past in the former bath house were 40 bathing cabins, today the city archives and the city museum are located here.


The New Park is like a green oasis that offers recreation areas with its meadows, playgrounds, benches. Here we also found a place to rest under the shades of the big trees.





Bad Soden am Taunus
is a nice place to visit while in Frankfurt. This is an excellent destination to spend a relaxing day surrounded by nature and take many photos to remember our trip.
