Schlangenbad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schlangenbad: a town of Germany, in Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in the Darmstadt (region) of 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.
