Directions

At the beginning of the terrain route, you walk through the idyllic spa park, past the spa sail to the Kneipp wading pool. Then it goes down the cascades to the Karl-Tetzner Bridge, over it through the forest with a climb to a breathtaking view over the entire Schlematal and spa area. The nature-close path leads below the golf course past numerous rest benches to an orchard. After the descent, you reach the Bad Schlema fire depot. Past this, towards the lower spa park entrance, on the right-hand side you can admire a monument commemorating what was once the largest blue dye factory in the world. Then continue through the spa park, past the lower spa park pond, the mini golf course and the Karl-Aurand House with herb garden. Over the music pavilion, you reach the start and end point, the Bad Schlema tourist information with spa house and health bath ACTINON.
