Bad Krozingen

The health resort of Bad Krozingen is located in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district and is approx. 15 km from Freiburg. To the west, the border with France is just around 20 kilometers away and Switzerland in the south can also be reached in less than an hour.
Bad Krozingen in its current form was created in the 1970s through the amalgamation of several previously independent communities with the previously much smaller town of Bad Krozingen.
The city, which today is home to over 22.000 people, grew out of a small Alemannic settlement founded around 800 AD.

Health and sport

The foundation stone for Bad Krozingen's current status as a health resort was laid in 1911 when, contrary to expectations, drilling in the Upper Rhine Graben uncovered thermal water instead of oil.
The opening of the first spa, the award of the spa title “Bad” in 1933, and the commissioning of the first spa in 1959 were the first steps on the way to the development of today's spa and bathing resort. In addition to several rehab clinics and a heart center, this now includes the Vita Classica thermal bathsin which it is particularly rich in minerals and carbonic acid Thermal water is used. The particularly high density of local doctors and health service providers is another aspect that makes the health town of Bad Krozingen stand out.

The Upper Rhine Roman Cycle Route offers a perfect combination of sporting activity and exploring the region surrounding the city. Stretching over 200 kilometers between Grenzach-Wyhlen and Offenburg , the cycle route allows cyclists to immerse themselves in the history of the former Roman Empire through ruins and museums along the way.

In addition to the numerous opportunities in the areas of health, wellness and sport, the city of Bad Krozingen also has cultural sights to offer.

City museum in the Litschgihaus

The name of the Baroque building that now houses the Bad Krozingen City Museum derives from the Savoyard Litschgi family, who erected the building in the 17th century. The museum tells the story of the region through archaeological finds from the Stone and Bronze Ages, as well as artifacts documenting Roman settlement. Exhibitions honoring prominent figures from the town's history can also be admired. Currently, the author Zenta Maurina and the priest Father Marquard Herrgott are being commemorated with exhibitions.
