Dendrological Garden and Beständiges Glück Mine, Bad Berneck

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful park that is divided into several levels. There is something to discover here in every season. On hot days it is nice and shady and cool. There are trees and shrubs from all over the world here. Wilhelm Rother, the owner of the site, brought the seeds from his travels and planted the garden. He took care of the facility until his death. Really nice there. Definitely visit.

🌈 Bad Berneck Spa Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Kurpark Bad Berneck is romantically embedded in the narrow valley of the Ölschnitz. The lilac slope on the Schlossberg, the over 100-year-old open-air stage and the three ruins from different epochs give the historic park a very special backdrop. Eye-catching are the colonnades, which are a beautiful testimony to the spa architecture of the turn of the century. They are a popular setting for the many cultural events and Sunday concerts that take place in the spa gardens from May to October. Colorful flower beds accompany the comfortable walks, and numerous seats invite you to look and enjoy.

The Marienkapelle is not far from the Old Castle. It was once the castle chapel of Hohenberneck Castle and even if not much is left of it, you feel transported back to an earlier time here. Add to that the wonderful view down into the valley – a magical place!

Bad Berneck is also known as Burgenland for a reason. There are a total of six fortifications in and around Bad Berneck, which give visitors a touch of the Middle Ages. Only a short detour from here are three of the Bad Berneck castles.

Bad Berneck was to be the destination again today. The beautiful hiking trails and finally the water treading in the spa gardens were always the highlights.
But today I was stunned, the castle ruins were open and I was able to visit them for the first time and right at the end I saw the Hotel Bube!!!
Yes, amazing: This …
