Bad Sooden-Allendorf
This small spa town in Hesse straddling the Werra river, Bad Sooden-Allendorf drew its wealth from salt-brine extraction for centuries before reinventing itself as a health resort in the 19th century. The Allendorf old town preserves a particularly cohesive ensemble of half-timbered buildings, while the Bad Sooden side retains the spa facilities and surviving structures of the former saltworks, including a graduation tower. The surrounding upland terrain offers scenic viewpoints, and the town has a café and restaurant scene that holds a surprising number of options for its size.
