It's the wide choice of natural remedies that makes Germany so popular with health-conscious travellers. More than 300 approved health resorts and spas help you to prevent and treat illnesses or simply to rest and relax. Alongside the alternative philosophies of Kneipp, Felke and Schroth, they draw on nature's plentiful resources – from thermal springs, seawater and nourishing peats to 'health mines' and the very air that we breathe.
