Close to nature and stylish: relaxation in Bad Nenndorf.

“I liked what I saw right away, even though it wasn’t until much later that I understood the quiet beauty of this interplay between lovely nature and elegant architecture.” The poet Agnes Miegel was immediately enchanted by Bad Nenndorf. To this day, this interplay continues to delight the resort’s many guests—from culture lovers to those seeking relaxation to active vacationers.

Located 30 kilometers west of the state capital, Hanover, the city combines stylish, elegant architecture with modern health services that draw on a long tradition. For over 200 years, remarkable therapeutic results have been achieved here, with efficacy and restorative power that meet the highest medical and therapeutic standards. The mud, brine, and sulfur baths, in particular, are renowned far and wide. Bad Nenndorf boasts one of the strongest sulfur springs in Europe!

Soothing baths using natural remedies promote relaxation of both body and mind. For example, the Landgrafen-Therme, with its 2 percent thermal brine, indoor and outdoor pools heated to 33 degrees, and extensive sauna area, promises a wellness day that has everything you could want.

The 35-hectare spa park—landscaped in 1792 in the style of an English landscape garden—holds the status of a cultural monument as a historic garden. Visitors exploring the park will be captivated by the whimsical interplay of light and shadow cast by the naturally growing trees, including those in Germany’s largest Süntel beech avenue. The Sun Garden with its fountain temple, the avenue of globe maples, the Landgrave’s House from 1791, and the neoclassical cottage from 1806 quickly make you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Biking and hiking tours through the Deister, the Schaumburg region, or to Lake Steinhude, as well as various Nordic walking and running routes, invite visitors to enjoy outdoor activities. With concerts, exhibitions, theater and movie screenings, various guided tours, and readings, Bad Nenndorf also offers a varied, year-round cultural program.
