Bad Herrenalb - Spa, Abbey Ruins, And Forests
Bad Herrenalb is a tiny spa town in the Northern Black Forest, not far from Karlsruhe and actually connected to the city by tram. The town is cuddling into the upper end of the narrow Alb valley among hills and forests.
The place is a nice option for a day trip, some hiking, seeing the remnants of the two monasteries, a walk in the Kurpark, a coffee and cake and a visit to the spa. Being stuck there for a four-week health treatment, however, might become a *bit* boring after a while...
