Water and exercise
ThermeNatur has two indoor pools, a therapy pool and three outdoor mineral-water pools. A sauna area and aqua fitness activities round out the facilities. This offers different ways to enjoy the water and get some exercise. The outdoor pool has a different focus: its pool is 50 metres long, and there is also a separate non-swimmer area, a toddler area with a slide and a playground. These areas offer different ways to use the outdoor pool, from swimming in the long pool to spending time in the toddler area.
If you would like to explore Bad Rodach by bike, you can include two circular routes in your plans for the day. One is 14 kilometres long and runs from Bad Rodach to Oettingshausen and back. The second covers 12 kilometres and goes via Gauerstadt before returning to Bad Rodach. The different distances and place names give you specific points of reference when choosing a route; they do not indicate how long it takes to walk or cycle. Both cycling loops start and end in Bad Rodach.
Walking paths and countryside
The spa park on the Therme hill covers just under 12 hectares and is criss-crossed by several walking paths. If you would like to spend some time among greenery, you will find a park with various paths rather than one designated loop. Further afield in the region, the “Grenzlandwanderung” trail winds through the flat, gently rolling countryside of the Rodach valley. The route follows paved and gravel paths and also crosses meadows. The landscapes and path surfaces therefore vary along the way. No specific distance is given here for this walk.
Local history and views
The local history museum is located on the upper floor of the Jagdschloss – Haus des Gastes in Bad Rodach. Its collections focus on the town’s history and local economy. The Rodach Local History Museum was founded in 1905 with the support of Rodach’s citizens, under the direction of municipal treasurer Ferdinand Berner, and commemorates key moments in the town’s history. The combination of its collections and founding story makes the museum a distinctive point of interest for anyone interested in the town’s development as well as outdoor activities.
A prominent landmark is the Henneberger Warte: the 30-metre-high observation tower has stood on the 403-metre-high Georgenberg since 1987. From there, the panoramic view stretches from the Rhön in the northwest across the Thuringian Forest and the Coburg region to the Fränkische Leuchte, the Veste Heldburg. The tower thus links a named location with views across several landscapes. When choosing a focus for your holiday, you can consider these views alongside swimming, cycling, walks and the town’s museum history without trying to fit every activity into a single outing.
You can also explore these places: Ahorn, Grub Am Forst, Dörfles-Esbach, Neustadt Bei Coburg, Ebersdorf Bei Coburg, Coburg, Weidhausen Bei Coburg, Lautertal.
