This picture shows not the spa garden, not the spa park, but the rose garden. Historically, this beautiful facility was intended to be an urban counterpart to the state spa complex.

Traditionally the center of social spa life, the spa garden is now a popular meeting place for guests and residents. The 2 hectare area is bordered by the Regent and arcade building as well as the foyer. The Max Temple also offers natural healing water from the Max Spring. King Ludwig I commissioned the Kurgarten to build the arcades in 1834 - and even took the pen himself. Today, from its base, it overlooks its carefully planned avenues of trees and the seasonally changing blossoms. The beds, potted plants and flower bowls are replanted three times a year to suit the season. When the weather is good, the sounds of the Staatsbad Philharmonie Kissingen can be heard from the outward-turned concert shell of the Wandelhalle - while you can relax and take in the hustle and bustle from the Kurgarten Cafe. https://www.badkissingen.de/aktivitaeten/gaerten-und-parks/35769.Kurgarten-in-Bad-Kissingen.html
