Wonderful spa park of Bad Bellingen with a barefoot path, a mini-golf course, an insect path, and a recently renovated pond area with fountains. Absolutely worth seeing.

Nice view, but sometimes unfortunately a bit unpleasant company when there is a party there.

This spa park is impressive due to its old trees and the beautifully landscaped pond with water fountains. The barefoot path is a must-walk.

We didn't have time to drive to the ruins, but the view over the lake to the ruins is also great

The Sulzburg natural pool is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Free entry, kiosk, showers, toilets, changing rooms and a large lawn with shade are available. For small children only conditionally, although there are many of them. You go in over pebbles, it is about 1-2 m flat before it goes steeply down. If you stay with the kids, no problem. The total depth should be 1.5 m. Water is pleasant, but those who have difficulties with plants in the water should be careful, they are available. I've been here twice now and have already learned to love it. I like to be here
