Information

Nestled in the idyllic landscape between the Taunus and Rheingau regions, Schlangenbad captivates visitors with its mild climate and deep, wooded valleys. Once the preferred resort of European high society, the town has retained its exclusive charm. At its heart lies the historic spa park, where warm thermal springs have bubbled for centuries. These springs not only feed the modern thermal baths but also accompany guests for a leisurely stroll along a kilometer-long "warm stream."

Under the shady canopies of the Nassauer Allee (1700) or the charming "Küsschen Allee" (1725), history comes alive. But the listed park is more than just a historical backdrop: Every June, during the Herb Days, it transforms into a vibrant marketplace for natural products. Those who keep their eyes peeled might even spot the rare Aesculapian snake. This harmless symbol of the medical profession appreciates Schlangenbad's mild climate just as much as its spa guests do. On the Snake Path in the upper spa park, you can learn all about the fascinating reptile that gave the spa its name during special guided tours.
