In Bad Steben, the topics of mining and geology are unavoidable. Gold was panned west of the spa town, and iron ore was mined around Bad Steben until 1858. The "Geology and Mining" educational trail from Bad Steben to Blechschmidtenhammer, with 17 display panels, vividly illustrates the more than 1,000-year history of mining in the region. In 1793, Alexander von Humboldt founded the "Bergschule zu Steben" (Mining School of Steben) in Bad Steben, the world's first vocational school for miners. A mine railway in the park opposite the spa building commemorates the coal and fluorspar mining, which ended in 1968.

The Klenze Building is a historic bathhouse built in 1837 according to designs by Leo von Klenze. Today, it is a landmark of the spa town.

Bad Steben Thermal Spa

Highlight • Rest Area

The healing powers of the mineral spring in Steben have been known since the Middle Ages. The municipality has been a Royal Bavarian State Spa since 1832. The thermal spa originated from the former Jean-Paul-Bad. After the privatization of the state-owned spa facilities and transfer to Staatsbad Bad Steben GmbH, this bathhouse was remodeled and expanded, and reopened in December 2004 as "Therme Bad Steben." The water in the large bathing hall is 30 degrees Celsius, and the whirlpool reaches 36 degrees Celsius. In September 2007, the thermal spa's offerings were expanded to include the Wellness Dome. In a slate cave, visitors experience a day on the beach from sunrise to sunset in just one hour.

Columned arcade with drinking hall

Highlight • Monument

The semi-open, columned promenade, with its large arcades, has adorned the spa park since 1910. As early as the 19th century, a wooden promenade stood here, serving as a shelter for strolling.

In the west pavilion of the promenade, you'll find the drinking hall, where you can sample the healing water. The tourist information office is located in the east pavilion.
