Bad Zurzach Guide Excursions, accommodation and adventure
Now you can experience something.
Retournez Welcome to Bad Zurzach
Water has been bringing life to Bad Zurzach for 5000 years. The first settlers arrived here on the Rhine in the Neolithic period. The Celts and Romans followed. In the fourth century the river brought Saint Verena – she made Zurzach a place of pilgrimage. And in the Middle Ages the favourable location attracted European merchants to the Bad Zurzach fairs.
Now you have found your way to Bad Zurzach, where the water still plays the main role. Relax in the bubbling thermal water! After being invigorated, you can go on a discovery trip in the former market town, which the locals simply call a “Flecken”. Let yourself be spoiled in Bad Zurzach with its varied historical and cultural heritage.
