The day before, we hiked and explored the feywild, or at least the part of the feywild in Bad Urach, Germany. Today, we luxuriated in our adventure, soaking in the warmth and health of the primal hot springs of Friedrichsbad.

To get to the hot-springs, we went through the town of Baden-Baden – a tourist town by any definition, full of neat shops and lovely cafes.

The restaurants I sorted under the “Exploring Stuttgart” post, to keep things simple, so here I’ll just include the views of Baden-Baden. It was lovely, relaxing, and simple – two trains and a bus brought us here, and a bus followed by two trains brought us home to Stuttgart. We wandered, we snacked, and we enjoyed the pattering of rain – never quite enough to be a problem, but just enough to be noticeable and a slight worry. Thankfully, the Black Forest cake went a long ways to assuaging the concerns, and the beautiful flowers and views did a good job of assisting with the rest.
