This is a great place to take a break. The interior was clean when we visited. However, there is only a three-sided bench without a table, but with a view of the table and chairs and the bench at the grill.

After the sweaty climb from the Enztal valley, this rustic hut with a wraparound bench is just the right thing. Next to the hut there is also a table and bench set with an unofficial barbecue area.

The new house was a so-called „Vaudeville Theater“. Vaudeville has its origins in Parisian fairground theater and is often associated with music and dance. In 1872, the private theater came into the possession of the state of Württemberg. When Peter Liebig from Mainz was called to Wildbad in 1872 as theater director, the theater experienced a great upswing. In 1888, the theater was given a new name: „Königliches Kur-Theater“. In 1897/98, it was rebuilt as part of the redesign of the spa facilities. On 10.07.2014, 150 years after the building was established, regular operations at the Königliches Kurtheater were resumed with a concert performance of Rossini's „Il viaggio a Reims“!

The Protestant town church of Bad Wildbad is the only town church newly built during the Rococo period in the former Duchy of Württemberg. This gives the building an important place in Württemberg church architecture. As the ducal church, the town church also served as a court church during the residence of the Dukes of Württemberg in Wildbad.
