    Along the street that passes by the Kurhaus in the pedestrain zone, are several buildings with drinking fountains. These are the whole reason the city of Bad Kissingen was founded. There are several different fountains, some running more than others. They run 24hours, and are always open. Each one has different minerals, and different healing effects. Try every one.

    The main feature of Bad Kissingen is the Kurhaus, the original spa in Bad Kissingen. The Kurhaus and it's surrounding gardens are the place people from all over Germany come to relax and well, drink the water. Outside the Kurhaus there is often an orchestra, filling the gardens with music, and chess playing with large, garden size pieces seems to be a favorite pastime of the guests. When it's busy, a Kurpass is required to enter the gardens.

    The fortress Botenlauben stands on a hill south of the city center. It was originally built in the 12th century and was destroyed in 1525 during the Farmer's War, and never rebuilt. The ruins are a good place to enjoy panoramic views of Bad Kissingen and the Rhoen.

  • Directions: In stadtteil Reitersweisen. From the city center, follow the ring road to the St. Elizabeth Hospital. Head up the hill towards the Sonnenhugel hotel.

    Franz Rakoczy is a very important personality in Bad Kissingen. His statue sits across from the mineral water fountain that bears his name. On the last July of every weekend the city hosts the Rakoczy festival for three days. The interesting thing is that Rakoczy was a Hungarian prince, who never even set foot in Bad Kissingen.

    The catholic church is the dominant church in Bavaria. Every village, every town has a catholic church. So it's a bit unusual to see a Protestant church. There are a few in Bavaria, and one is located in Bad Kissingen. It's open 24 hours a day, and is a change from looking at all the catholic churches around.

  • Directions: Behind the theater.

    There are slot machines almost everywhere, but Bad Kissingen has one of the few casinos around. Don't expect a Vegas-like atmosphere, the place is a bit more formal. It's main visitors are the retired spa guests.

  • Directions: In the city center, across the Saale river from the Kurhaus

    The Feuerturm was originally built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications. In 1850, the tower was then used as a firewatch and equipped with a bell. The last resident moved out of the tower in 1960. The tower, which is the last remaining from the original fortifications, now has another job critical to the survival of Bad Kissingen. The public bathroom is now located in the first floor.

  • Directions: Across the street from the catholic church.
