Spa and Palace Park Bad Neustadt

Highlight • Natural Monument

Originally designed as a strictly geometrical park for the late Baroque Schloss Neuhaus, today's Schlosshotel, the garden was transformed in the 19th century, following the zeitgeist, into a romantic English landscape garden.

Well-preserved castle complex in Bad Neustadt. Since the castle is privately owned, many parts can only be visited during a guided tour.

Very nice, varied and well signposted Nordic Walking tour, over long distances over grass. That means after rain ☔ or in the morning dew, think of sturdy, preferably tight shoes, otherwise wet shoes, socks 🧦 and feet will be the result.
