The castle park and the small castle are a real highlight in Neckarbischofsheim. There's also the pentagonal tower to admire, and there's also a small swimming pool. It's worth a visit, if only for the superb ice cream in the castle park.

The spa park was built in its current location in the 1960s. Extensive renovation and redesign took place for the 2008 State Garden Show. The centerpiece of the park remains the spa park lake. A spacious staircase in the west provides access to the water. The "Bächle" stream, which flows through Bad Rappenau's town center, also flows into the lake at the same location.
