Bad Driburg Gräflicher Park

Spring is a time to take a spring walk through Bad Driburg's Count's Park. You don't have to be in the Hotel stay. Instead, you can pay the entrance fee to Bad Driburg's Count's Park and enjoy the parks on a walk. When the tulips and daffodils are in bloom, you look forward to sunny days. Then one likes to take the time to explore the themed gardens and park areas that have been laid out between and around the hotel buildings. There is a lot to discover.

Spring walk through the landscape park

Bad Driburg Gräflicher Park with fountain house

The fountain house stands in the center of the park. Here visitors can try the medicinal waters that made Bad Driburg a medicinal bath. The long foyer invites you to stroll. The building was constructed on this site from 1822 to 1824.

Even if you don't want to try the medicinal waters, it's worth taking a detour to the Wandelhalle. There is also a reading room in a side wing. There you can find brochures about the offers in the bathhouses and the hotel.

Wildlife park with herd of fallow deer

Back at the square in front of the fountain house, we turn left. The path leads past bathhouses and hotel buildings to the park area, where the herd of fallow deer from the Count's Park of Bad Driburg stays. The animals run freely across the grounds. Visitors can get really close to them.

However, we turn right and walk past Hölderlin Grove and Diotima Island back to the hotel. There we finally enjoy the spring blossoms in the flower beds around the hotel building.
