"It's wonderful to be here." The place that inspired the poet Rainer Maria Rilke to make this statement was once a therapeutic spring and also an oasis of inspiration for many guests - from Ulrich Zwingli to Hans Christian Andersen and Johanna Spyri.
In 1535, the famous natural scientist, physician and philosopher Theophrastus von Hohenheim, better known as Paracelsus, became the first physician at the baths in Pfäfers.
The visitors can still experience the immense power of the water at this wildly romantic location - and the only Baroque baths in Switzerland offer a combination of culture, history and pleasure . (Altes Bad Pfäfers)
