Bad Kreuznach

I’ve been to that lovely city several times, since I’m living not too far away from it.
Bad Kreuznach, which is indicated by the “Bad” is a Kurstadt (“spa city”) a “title” only some few German cities have got. It means that people go there on rehabilitation, to be cured or to relax. Bad Kreuznach is famous for its Bäderhäuser (“bath houses”), were you can relax in warm and cold water, get massages and so on…
The city is situated by the small river Nahe and there are some special houses on a bridge (Brückenhäuser). They had problems for several years in the past with high water (the Bäderhäuser and other places were flooded then), but took some measures to prevent further floods at the end of the 20th century.
Bad Kreuznach is a lovely city with many old houses and the feeling of a cosy, calm, relaxing town. Next to the bath houses you can find the “Salinen” (salines/saltworks), walls through which salt water circulates and help you breathe.
There a small bus, that looks like a miniature version of a train, that goes between Bad Kreuznach and its neighbouring village Bad Münster, that is called “Blauer Klaus” (“Blue Klaus” – Klaus being a very popular German name).
Bad Kreuznach is definitely a town I would like to live in. :)

It was the simple life..I loved it there. It is a town that’s marked by it’s forename “Bad”, which makes it what I always called a “Health/spa town”—in these towns the air is cleaner, and they have health spas and saline walls. Alot of natives go to these types of cities for healing, and other homeopathic things.
