GERMANY ~ Baden Baden - UNESCO ~

... Many lovely views of Germany's most elegant spa town located at the edge of the Black Forest.... Baden-Baden promotes wellness thanks to its curative thermal waters that bubble upwards from twelve springs at a depth of about 2,000 metres under the earth... they push out roughly 800,000 litres a day, at temperatures of as much as 68°C.... the springs produce the hottest and most mineral rich water in the country... the healing process is stimulated  through drinking, inhaling, and bathing...  these hot springs were already used by the Romans... the Roman Emperor Caracalla came here in the third century to soak his arthritis away, and you can still glimpse the ruins of the Roman baths today... Thanks Marion!【ツ】 

Baden-Baden  is a spa town in Baden-Württemberg. It is at the border of the Rhine valley and the Black Forest. In 1931, the town of Baden-Baden was officially given its double name (a short form for "Baden in Baden", i.e. Baden in the state of Baden).

In 2021, the town became part of the transnational UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Great Spa Towns of Europe".
