Since 1935 our clinic has been situated in the old spa town of Bad Pyrmont in the picturesque region of Weserbergland. Records show that even the Romans swore by the healing powers of the hot springs that can be found here. As part of the county of Waldeck, parklands were included early on in the town plans in order to provide a memorable visit to the increasing number of spa guests.
The spa gardens are one of the most picturesque park landscapes in Germany and even received the distinction of „Germany’s most beautiful park“ in 2005. The Palm garden, which is part of the spa gardens, counts as the largest open-air area of palm trees north of the Alps. Pyrmont’s town architecture with its boulevards invites you to stroll down the Hauptallee for example.
The spa gardens is one of the largest connected park landscapes in Germany and stretches through the entire town of Pyrmont. The landscape was honoured with the award „Germany’s most beautiful park“ in 2005. You can enjoy long walks and admire the art that is on display at various points. Some of the town’s tourist attractions can be seen along the way, such as the famous well "Der Hyllige Born”, which is situated on the Hauptallee.
The palm gardens are situated in the heart of Pyrmont, very close to the Hauptallee. This is where tropical trees grow in open-air. The palm gardens are the largest of its type north of the Alps and provided the spa town with the rating „an oasis amongst palm trees”. Visitors can enjoy a stroll and immerse themselves in the Mediterranean atmosphere.
The spa of Pyrmont is the main reason for spa tourism in the Weserbergland. When talks made the rounds of the healing powers of these springs in the middle of the 16th century, tens of thousands of people came here to see for themselves. Today, six of the springs are in use. Our local Hufelandtherme uses the springs: The Dunsthöhle (vapour cave), where natural carbon dioxide comes to light, is unique in its form. It helps alleviate issues of blood circulation and asthma.
The animal park in Bad Pyrmont is situated in the south and offers a balanced mixture of indigenous and exotic animals over 30.000 square meters. Some of the animals, such as the Madagascan giant gecko, can only be found here in Germany. The wildlife park is open daily and in all weather conditions for visitors.
If you are interested in playing golf, you will find a course in our neighbouring town Lügde. The golf club Pyrmont is an 18-hole course (Par 71). The golf course is well attended to and interested players can try out their skills from Tuesday to Sunday. An E-Caddy can be hired upon request.
Bad Pyrmont is a paradise for tennis players: There are three different venues where you can indulge in this hobby: aside from the residential tennis club with over six sand and 2 indoor courts, there are further courts for visitors in the spa gardens.
