The Max Fountain is the oldest of the seven natural medicinal springs in Bad Kissingen that contribute to its renown.
Royal medicinal water from Bad Kissingen’s resort park
The healing effect of the medicinal springs was discovered as early as in the 16th century, so the aristocracy came to Bad Kissingen for treatment for centuries. The Max Fountain was mentioned for the first time in 1520, at that time under the name of "Acidulous Spring". After the rims of the fountain were renewed in 1815, it was named after King Max I. The so-called Max temple is publicly accessible and water can be bottled at all times. This medicinal water is particularly recommended for mucositis and respiratory ailments.
