People have been flocking to Bad Nenndorf to be cured by its healing waters for more than two centuries, ever since Count Wilhelm IX of Hessen-Kassel founded the spa town in 1787. Situated about 20 miles west of Hannover, the village of Nenndorf actually has a history going back much further than the "Bad" (baths), at least to the 10th century. The tranquil Kurpark (Spa Park) was designed like an English landscape park and is filled with many exotic trees that are now over 200 years old.
