Attractions

Known for its thermal baths, Bad Füssing is part of the Lower Bavarian Spa Triangle.

The sulphurous water source of 56°C was found in 1938 in a depth of about 1 km when drilling for oil.[3] The first spa started only in 1950 and later developed to more establishments. There are three public baths, the largest[4] is based on a well bored in 1964.[5]
