The Bad Birnbach Christmas Market is worth visiting not only for its unique atmosphere and culinary offerings but also for its location in the Lower Bavarian spa triangle. Bad Birnbach is known, among other things, for its thermal bath, the Rottal Terme. The history as a thermal bath began in 1939. At that time, the Bavarian Mineral Oil Industry AG drilled for oil near Birnbach. However, instead of oil, they found thermal water. By order of the Reich government, the drilling had to be filled in. Only in 1973 was drilling for thermal water resumed, and in September at a depth of 1700 meters, a thermal spring was discovered. The foundation stone for the spa, which is still in use today, was laid in 1974.

In conclusion, the Bad Birnbach Christmas Market is a place where traditional craftsmanship, regional specialties, and the warm atmosphere of a Bavarian Christmas market come together. It offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy the pre-Christmas season in a historical and cozy ambiance.
