Franconian Saale in Bad Kissingen

Highlight • River

Idyllic paths to the left and right of the Saale, easy to walk

The Franconian Saale is a northeastern tributary of the Main in Lower Franconia, Bavaria. It rises in Grabfeld near Bad Königshofen, runs along the southern edge of the Rhön and flows into the Main in Gemünden as its largest right tributary

Bad Kissingen Rose Garden

Highlight • Structure

This picture shows not the spa garden, not the spa park, but the rose garden. Historically, this beautiful facility was intended to be an urban counterpart to the state spa complex.

Fountain in the Rosengarten, Bad Kissingen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rose garden in Bad Kissingen was created for the citizens, whereas the spa garden was formerly reserved for spa guests. Today both parks are open to the public. Walking in the spa garden during the flowering season and breathing in the scent of roses is a real delight. The healing water of the Max spring ripples in the spa garden and concerts of the Stattsbad Philharmonie Kissingen take place almost daily, when the weather is fine outdoors.

Railway viaducts near Bad Kissingen

Highlight • Bridge

The building can not be photographed so well, because it is quite ingrown. At any rate, it can bear witness to times when German engineering was still a term with absolute justification.

Preußensteg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

"Preußensteg" near Bad Kissingen, where the Prussians succeeded in crossing the Franconian Saale in the Battle of Kissingen on July 10, 1866.

To prevent the Prussians from crossing the Saale, the stone Ludwig Bridge was barricaded. The remaining Saale crossings broke off the Bavarians. However, the support beams on the footbridge above the Lindesmühle were left in the water.

Parts of the Prussian units managed to cross here at noon on July 10, 1866, after they had torn out tables, benches and doors from the Villa Vay (later Hotel Belvedere) and placed them over the supporting beams that were still there.

House-to-house fighting ensued along Kurhausstrasse. The fighting in and around the spa gardens was particularly vehement.

Since then, the Lindesmühl-Steg has been popularly known as the Preussensteg. The "grave of the dead Prussia" (on the other side of the Saale) commemorates all those who fell who died and whose names are not known.
