Activities
The spa town of Bad Kreuznach nestles in a valley basin between the vineyards of Rheinhessen, the rugged valleys of the Hunsrück and the forests of the Palatinate. The Rhine-Main metropolitan region is easily reached by car or train. Depending on which direction you head, a wide range of activities is on offer, so every visitor can put together a programme that suits them.
