Barrier-free spa walking route Bad Dürkheim
The Bad Dürkheim spa walking route leads through one of the most beautiful spa parks in Germany and combines highlights of spa history with a walk.
The walk starts at the fountain hall (closed), leads to the graduation tower, then past the calisthenics area in the eastern spa park. A detour from the park leads past the Salinarium Bad Dürkheim thermal bath (opening late September 2025!) to the giant barrel. St. Ludwig's Church is also included in the walk. The walk can be extended with the city walk to get to know all the sights in the city center.

Roadbook
The walk starts at the fountain hall (closed). Schlossgartenstraße leads us into the spa park. At the next intersection turn left after crossing the Isenach, we pass the mini golf course (on the right) and can already see the graduation tower. Along the left side of the graduation tower there is on the right the possibility to pass through the building into the eastern spa park. There past the calisthenics area, the path leads east along the graduation tower to the northern end. Here we keep left and walk past the water playground over the bridge by the Mercure hotel, following Kurbrunnenstraße past the Salinarium towards the Dürkheim giant barrel. To the right into the alley you can make a detour to one of the most famous sights, the giant barrel. Back on Kurbrunnenstraße the path continues until there is on the left the possibility to turn into the spa park. Slightly uphill the path leads to St. Ludwig's Church, here on the right is a barrier-free path to the upper spa park. We circle once around St. Ludwig's Church, follow the path downhill into the spa park and turn right at the first opportunity. We follow the path along the meadow and at the end turn left to return to the fountain hall.
