In this spa town known for its Kneipp wellness tradition, the best tours pack a lot into a compact area. The standout experiences center on wellness and local history. An expert-led herb garden walk brings the town’s healing traditions to life, while bike tours (my favorite) offer a perfect blend of exercise and Bavarian countryside views. The city walking tour efficiently covers the essential historic spots, including the famous bathhouses where Kneipp’s water therapy began.
Church tours are well worth your time, offering excellent insights into the town’s religious heritage and Kneipp’s fascinating story. The women’s history tour reveals lesser-known but important figures who helped establish Bad Wörishofen as a wellness destination.
