A really great swimming pool, so be sure to bring your swimsuit and some change for a refreshment at the kiosk.

A beautiful historic market square, well-preserved and restored half-timbered houses, a few cafes and ice cream parlors invite you to sit outside in the summer.

I'm impressed by the magnificent pilgrimage church. I happened to pass by, and the trip was worth it. It's well worth seeing.

The focal point of Bad Königshofen is the large market square with its three ornamental fountains: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Röhrenbrunnen (Tube Fountain), and the Michaelsbrunnen (Michael Fountain), above which the wrought-iron angel "floats." The Vierröhrenbrunnen (Four-Tube Fountain) in front of the Schlundhaus (Thrush House) was fed by a water pipe even before the Thirty Years' War, making it an important part of the town. Also located on the market square is the medieval Kornstein (cornstone) from 1525, which formerly served as a grain measuring device.
