Kronthaler Quellen: A Historic Spa Park
Discover the historic Kronthaler Quellen spa park in Kronberg, where natural mineral springs, revitalized gardens, and scenic trails offer a refreshing escape in the Taunus region.
The Kronthaler Quellen, nestled in Kronberg im Taunus, is a historic spa park with roots dating back to the 16th century when its mineral springs were first documented. The park's story is intertwined with the springs, which were once a major export, sold as 'Kronthal water' as far away as England and America. In the 19th century, physician Küster established spa facilities, leading to Kronthal's heyday around 1840. Today, visitors can explore the revitalized park, sample mineral water from two springs, and enjoy the Kneipp cure in the water treading pool. The park also features cycling and hiking routes.
