The former town of residence of the Teutonic Order and nowadays a modern spa resort, Bad Mergentheim, is distinguished by a variety of attractions: blooming meadows along the river Tauber, sunny vineyards and one of Germany‘s most beautiful spa parks. When the shepherd, Franz Gehrig, discovered the spring, that later became known as the Wilhelmsquelle, down by the river Tauber, he effectively laid the foundation stone for Baden-Württemberg‘s largest spa and baths. Today, Bad Mergentheim is the Romantic Road‘s main centre for health, spa and wellness facilities.
