Places in the Quellenviertel

In the Quellenviertel, the villages aren’t all neatly lined up next to one another like in a travel brochure. Each has its own charm, its own stories and just the right mix of tranquillity, conviviality and authentic life. Here, the pleasures of the thermal baths meet pub tales, the tranquillity of the lakes meets the charm of the town square, and the fresh forest air meets the wisdom of the regulars’ table. Some places are small and say little. Others are happy to chat away. But they all have one thing in common: you’re more likely to end up staying longer than you planned. And that’s exactly what makes it special.
