Introduction

Wie lebt man gesund? Was macht man? Was macht man nicht?

Described as a Kurort, or "Spa town," Baden-Baden, Germany is known across Europe as a premier place to come to relax and tend to one's overall health. Some people come to one of the thermal baths for medicinal purposes, others merely to be pampered, and some just come to live it up in the city's nightlife at the Baden-Baden casino. Whatever the reason, no visitor will be disappointed.

The history behind this city, located within the Black Forest, began with the Romans over 2000 years ago and the Roman bath tradition has continued. Romans, who once lived in most of the area west of the Rhine, built elaborate baths, whose ruins are still visited today. The Roman bath ruins in Baden-Baden are located under the Römerplatz in the middle of town and are toured by thousands of people each year.

Baden-Baden is a healthy place to visit!
