The area is renowned for its hot springs and mineral-rich mud, whose reputed healing properties have drawn visitors for many years. In 1923, this reputation led to the town's name acquiring the prefix Bad ("bath", "spa").

Nearby, the Dubrower Berge, a range of wooded hills, is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists.
