Healthy springs: Germany's famous Spas.

Germany is riddled with wholesome, healthy, healing, medicinal springs. They're called 'Bad': bathes, or spas.
Whenever you go to a place with 'Bad' in it you'll be sure to see a massive,Victorian, palatial building, a true Spa Hotel, near the springs: mineral waters, sulphur, special muds, the works. These towns and villages invariably have an international, glam life feel and thus are great to stroll through and spend the night.

So check out our pics of Bad Nenndorf, in the Schaumberger Land, west of Hannover.
We stayed in the Grand Hotel Esplanade, a palace more impressive than the palace our former queen Beatrix grew up in. With, next to the immense garden, one of the strongest sulphur springs in Germany.

Now I love the smell of sulphur - memories of earlier life, and my next destiny, as my dear hubby keeps telling me. A whaft of sulphur might once in a while enter our rooms, we were forewarned in the hotel leaflet. But that was VERY healthy so no worries.

Great! love it! But then I woke up in the middle of the night, and found that every single particle of oxygen was taken up by sulphur molecules.
It was breathtaking.
It was, in fact, hardly breathable.
It smelled horrid, putrid, and very, very disgusting. No more Hell for me, thank you so very much.

We'll be back in Bad Nenndorf. When the wind is east.
