Bad Saarow is a place of transformation. While the Saarow and Pieskow manors were still a dream in Fontane's time, around 100 years ago the transformation from a wallflower in Brandenburg to a "state-approved thermal brine and mud spa" began.
Healing mud and thermal brine, today from the 450-meter-deep Catharinenquelle, and pretty villas and country houses on the banks of the Scharmützelsee attracted Berlin's elite to the town in the Golden Twenties, which has been called Bad Saarow since 1923. The first train stopped here in 1912. The station, built a year earlier, became a traditional landmark.
Today, more than ever, Bad Saarow is a master of transformation. On the one hand, it is a place on the 15-kilometer shore of Lake Scharmützelsee for all those who want to relax, seek leisure and peace, and who can find modern spa and health facilities here, such as the SaarowTherme, restaurants and cafés, or the lake promenade that invites you to relax.
