"Once and Now" - Historical Tour of Bad Gleichenberg ("Einst und jetzt" - Historischer Rundgang)

We start our tour at the main square and already recognize the first changes - club house and club restaurant, as well as the Villa Albrecht and the spa theater. Our tour continues past Villa Sophie (Villa Süss), Villa D'Orsay to Andrassy Park where we can already catch a glimpse of the "Hotel Milan". Our tour continues to the Milan Hall.

We walk back a short distance, past the Villa Sophie - along Albrechtstraße. We now have a view in the direction of Gleichenberg Castle. We follow the street further to the Luisenvilla and the Hubertushof. Our next stop is at the tourism schools Bad Gleichenberg "Hotel Possenhofen" and "Hotel Venedig". Our walk now takes us along Emmaallee to Villa Max in the middle of the spa park, on to the Rindenkapelle chapel, past the park side of the spa, we see information boards about the Wandelbahn and the Brunnenhalle. Looking up the hill in the spa park we see Villa Wickenburg, which is still inhabited by the descendants of the spa founder. We walk along the path in the spa park and reach the Fountain Temple, which has been home to the spa museum since 2012. We now reach the upper Brunnenstraße and see the Villa Clar, Villa Triestina, Villa Weihnachtsbaum (today Villa Gleichenberg), the Eiskeller, Haus Stadt Frankfurt until we reach the main square again at the Cafe Columbia (Villa Karlsruhe).
