    A hot water spring in the middle of the city. Well maintained place. There is a tap in the enclosure next to it. One can drink a bit of water from it. May not taste good but they claim good for health. Surprising to see the spring water still live.

    What a pleasure to find this little gem while spending a Sunday afternoon exploring the city. This natural hot spring boasts healing mineral water, and the temperature must have been between 60 - 70C (140 - 160F). It is also very cool to simply ponder what these hot springs must have been like to encounter by cold explorers in prior millennia. Just fascinating.

    The place is a family friendly place and is highly recommended for tourists. There are other nice touristy areas in the surrounding, like the Evangelical marker church and the Kurhaus. It is also near a very old but beautiful hotel.

    I found this to be one of the most underrated tourist attractions of the city of Wiesbaden - needless to say a must visit. A must visit on a cold winter evening or during the day, putting your feet inside the hot water springs the best part is that since it is a natural spring, it is said to have medicinal properties and provide natural soothing effect. Although there are no warning signs of the hot water however it is difficult to miss the hotness by the glowing visible steam. It does not have a very huge in the areas however it is said to have almost over 100 l of disposition of water every minute, which is further used for industrial purposes.

    Nice place to taste the mineral water, but you need something to drink from, it is too hot otherwise. Water tasts too mineralized, so you can drink only a bit. Great, that this is available for everyone and free of charge

    Nice hot spring to visit in a cold day

  • 3/5 Michael A. 5 months ago on Google • 120 reviews
    Mal interessant zum Anschauen, aber auch nichts besonderes. Zum Trinken des Wassers sollte man ein kleines Gefäß dabei haben. Auf dem Platz gibt's noch mehr Interessantes.

    This fountain looks and smells odd due to the mineral content in the water, but that’s part of the celebration! At this plaza is an interesting children’s playground with beautiful murals of wildlife. This is a very active plaza but we got there early in the morning (don’t you love jetlag).

  • 5/5 Sebastian R. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cool place! It is such a strange thing, to have burning hot water coming nonstop out of a fountain in the city. It's such a wonder which is totally worth the visit. There is also an area which you can try to bathe, but it's probably too hot for most people.

  • 4/5 Eric T. 3 years ago on Google
    Quite neat. Water is incredibly hot. Would recommend checking this out while in the area.

  • 4/5 Annie V. 8 months ago on Google
    The Kochbrunnen in Wiesbaden is unique. It is a hot spring quelled from underneath that is now a fountain ⛲️. The locals, they believe, if you drink a cup from it, once a day, it is healthy. Wiesbaden has many hot natural spring baths that you can visit and swim. Where the kochbrunne is a very nice little fountain where many locals and outside visitors go and still have a cup from the hot spring. Please do not take a bottle and fill it with the hot spring water is not worth it. The smell of the hot spring is not so very attractive to the 👃. Be careful it is hot spring water so it's hot.

    Famous hot spring in centre of Wiesbaden. Worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Corey 7 months ago on Google
    Can totally feel the warmth of the water when the wind is strong. Fun walk up to the park and seeing the fountain and just sitting at the park and people watch.

    Brilliant advertisement for the thermal springs of Wiesbaden. During the cold season, you can warm your hands and sit on benches, discussing Wilhelm II and his thermal springs in Wiesbaden.

  • 5/5 Jeannet van B. 10 months ago on Google
    It was amazing these "kochbrunnen" : it are natural springs in Wiesbaden (Germany), the capital of the state of Hessen. The water has a temperature of 66 degrees Celsius. In Wiesbaden you also perceive the smell of sulfur by the springs.

    A locals favorite hangout. Potable thermal mineral water in the gazebo so bring your cup to taste.

  • 5/5 Claus S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Luca 2 years ago on Google
    Central and worth a look. Not exactly pretty, but still interesting.

  • 4/5 Ulf L. 1 year ago on Google
    Not very impressive per se, but still a must-see in Wiesbaden. The largest and most famous hot artesian spring in the city. It's water is salty, and exits the ground at over 66°C.

  • 5/5 grace r. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a perfect place to drink some mineral water to your health. Also a nice place to take your visitors to see and try it out.

  • 5/5 ben a. 1 year ago on Google
