Agentur für Zimmervermittlung-Bad Westernkotten: When you don’t know anything about the German language and the meaning of the word “Bad” you don’t have to worry anymore. Here we describe the meaning behind this word and why many German cities has this word in their name.

First of all: Bad Westernkotten is not the evil twin brother of Good Westernkotten. The word “Bad” is used in names of cities which are a health resort. As a matter of fact only state-approved health spas are allowed to have this word in their name. Bad Westernkotten as well as Bad Waldliesborn and Bad Sassendorf aren’t far from each other.

The health resort all have a thermal bath you can visit to relax. In Bad Westernkotten it’s the Hellweg-Sole-Therme.

Furthermore, in the Hellweg-Sole-Therme you’ll also find a fitness studio where you can train like usual on your own or you can take a course. In the building is also a “Vitaminbar” where you can get hot and cold drinks and some snacks.
