The Kurpark

…. and us in the middle of it

The 110 year old “green oasis” in the north of the city covers a total of 36 hectares
– 25.7 hectares of which are listed – the largest of it’s kind in Bavaria.

In addition to the diverse botany, you will find the water lily fountain, a maze, the animal enclosure, the mini golf course and a nature trail.
The Kneipp Island with a graduation tower and water treading basin are very close to the hotel as well as the rose garden and the exercise park with its sports equipment.
It is particularly relaxing and refreshing to simply take a walk in the spacious green area and enjoy a coffee or a delicious sundae on our terrace while you are out and about.

Golf

Trial days are also possible on certain dates

In Bad Windsheim, in the midst of rolling hills, is the very well-kept golf course of Bad Windsheim. The golf course includes an 18-hole championship course and a 6-hole short course.

The short course can also be used by beginners (membership is not required).
There is also a spacious driving range with over 40 tees, some of which are covered.
The facility is located in a long valley between typical Franconian vineyard hills.
The all in all level course is easy to walk with its small height differences (max. 30 meters), but at the same time allows far-reaching views of the idyllic surroundings.
The varied design of the facility enables players of all levels to enjoy interesting rounds of golf.

Rothenburg

25 km

Rothenburg – the medieval gem on the Tauber. Whoever enters the city through one of its gates immediately feels like you have been transported back hundreds of years, to the time of minstrels and jugglers.

The romantic flair of the late middle Ages and the Renaissance within the city walls accompanies you at every turn. Experience the thousand-year history and the almost fairytale idyll.

Incidentally, just like Bad Windsheim, Rothenburg was a free imperial city (1274 to 1803) and thus has always been a very extraordinary city!
