Bad Wildbad lies in the Enz valley in the northern Black Forest, where thermal water rises through granite. The bathhouse built for the Württemberg court in the 1840s and 1890s survives as the Palais Thermal, with tiled halls, stained glass and a Moorish-Revival vocabulary throughout.

Why visit
The historic bathing rooms are still in use, including baths where water rises through the floor of the original rock basins — a rare chance to bathe inside a 19th-century interior rather than a reconstruction.
