Schlangenbad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schlangenbad: a town of Germany, in Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in the German state of Hesse. Its eight thermal springs are mostly used for bathing, and are efficacious in nervous complaints and feminine disorders. There is a handsome kursaal connected with the principal bathing establishment.
The municipality of Schlangenbad consists of the parts Schlangenbad, Georgenborn, Wambach, Bärstadt, Hausen v.d.H., Obergladbach and Niedergladbach and has a total of ca. 7200 inhabitants.
Schlangenbad derives its name from "snake" (german "Schlange") since the region is home to a small population of aesculapian snakes, normally native to southern Europe.
