Marienquelle: A Serene Spring in Bad Marienberg
Discover the serene beauty and historical significance of Marienquelle, Bad Marienberg's oldest site, a tranquil spring offering reflection and natural beauty.
The Marienquelle, Bad Marienberg's oldest site, is a tranquil spring with historical and spiritual significance. First documented in 1863 as the 'Heiligenborn' (holy spring), its waters were praised for their purity and restorative properties. Tradition invites visitors to pause, relax, and reflect at this idyllic location. The Westerwaldverein recently enhanced the site, adding a grotto with a statue of the Virgin Mary and a rustic oak railing. Located a short walk from the Protestant church, the Marienquelle offers a peaceful escape and a connection to the town's origins. The spring provides a refreshing stop along several hiking trails, including those leading to the Bacher Lay nature reserve and the Park of the Senses. Whether seeking a moment of quiet contemplation or exploring the natural beauty of the Westerwald, the Marienquelle offers a unique and memorable experience.
