The Rose Garden is a park in the spa town of Bad Kissingen, known for its approximately 160 rose varieties. The multimedia fountain is a special highlight of the complex. Musical water choreographies take place there daily, and after dark, projector shows are projected onto a screen made of water droplets.

A wonderful Kneipp facility. Very nicely done! Thanks to the donors/supporters. And it's cleaned regularly (I heard). 😉 So it's empty for one day, and then it has to be filled up again.
