Bad Griesbach
Bad Griesbach is located in Lower Bavaria in the Rottal valley and is primarily known as a spa and golf destination. The town is part of the Lower Bavarian spa triangle, which also includes Bad Füssing and Bad Birnbach, and offers a combination of wellness, active vacations and nature experiences. The centerpiece is the Bad Griesbach thermal spa with healing thermal water, which is fed from several springs and is used for health and relaxation stays.
Bad Griesbach is particularly well-known as the largest contiguous golf resort in Europe: the golf region has six 18-hole championship courses, three 9-hole courses and several practice facilities, including the renowned golf academy. The courses are nestled in the gently undulating landscape of the Rottal and offer a variety of challenges for beginners to professionals.
In addition to golf and wellness, visitors can go on cycling and hiking tours in the surrounding countryside, enjoy culinary specialties from the region - from Bavarian tavern cuisine to upscale restaurants - and go on excursions to nearby cities such as Passau.
