A summer retreat with history.
At the meeting point of seven valleys, just 30 km south of Karlsruhe, lies the town of Bad Herrenalb with its districts of Bernbach, Neusatz and Rotensol, home to over 7,000 residents. Herrenalb grew from a Cistercian monastery founded in 1149 and remained a monastic village until the 18th century. Then, the first day-trippers from the growing towns of the surrounding region began to visit. Herrenalb has been a summer retreat for the people of Karlsruhe and a popular destination for visitors for decades. In 1971, drilling at a depth of 600 metres revealed mineral springs, upon which Herrenalb was granted the prefix "Bad" and officially became Bad Herrenalb.
