Bad Urach: AlbThermen Bad Urach
Among the spa towns of the Swabian Alb, Bad Urach stands out for the AlbThermen thermal complex in the wooded Erms valley. The baths belong to a small historic town enclosed by the steep forested slopes of the Swabian Jura, a limestone upland known for caves, springs and deeply cut valleys. Bad Urach’s centre retains half-timbered houses and the former Residenzschloss, reflecting its time as a residence of the Counts of Württemberg. AlbThermen adds a modern wellness focus to the town’s medieval character, while the surrounding slopes and valley setting keep the landscape close to its built-up area.
