Bad Pyrmont is a resort with more than 500-year history. There are about 50 towns in Germany with the ‘Bad’ prefix. In Bad Pyrmont you can find about 20 mineral springs, this is the best resort in Lower Saxony. During the last century a lot of famous people have been here: King of England George I, King of Prussia Frederick II, Queen Louise of Prussia, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Benjamin Franklin. But not only the springs attract the tourists. In 2005, the central Kurpark (Resort Park) in Bad Pyrmont was chosen as the best park in Germany. The park has a highlight – the palm garden. We don’t know how difficult it is to keep the palm trees here, but it seems to be hard. In winter the trees are hidden in the greenhouse.
