Plan your family visit to the Kurpark Bad Essen with these blog insights 👇

Activities: We parked directly at the Kurpark and strolled through the Sole-Park, where we had a picnic. We enjoyed the Sole-Arena, a "futuristic-looking graduation works" where the natural brine is nebulized. We then went to the Familienpark
Highlights: We "breathed deeply" in the Sole-Arena, appreciating the healing salt mist. Our teenagers enjoyed a huge partner swing, while the smaller children had fun on a small playground. There is also a "big one for all ages." The youngest one sat happily in the baby swing ✨
