Beautifully located in the Aschachtal. The Wehr used to be here. Optimal for a short break.

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.
