Bad Lauchstädt spa gardens
Walking in Goethe's footsteps
Surrounding the historic spa facilities in Bad Lauchstädt with the bubbling healing spring in the centre, a late baroque garden splendour invites you to take a stroll. An avenue of chestnut trees greens the promenade along the arcades and draws the eye to an ornamental pond with neighbouring flowerbeds. Behind it, the Laucha river meanders through an English landscape park under the shade of plane trees. Thanks to its excellent reputation as a spa, the small town attracted celebrities such as Goethe, Schiller and Wagner in the 18th and 19th centuries, making it a popular meeting place for illustrious society. To this day, the ensemble, which includes the Goethe Theatre, which will reopen in 2021, offers numerous culinary and musical delights.
