Plan a visit

The Elisenbrunnen in the heart of Aachen with its thermal water is a symbol of the bathing city.

The Elisenbrunnen, which consists of an open foyer and two pavilions, is known for its foul-smelling thermal water.
The two drinking fountains of the Elisenbrunnen in Aachen deliver sulfur-containing water at a temperature of 52°C. However, the unpleasant smell, due to the high sulfur content of the water, should not deter you from visiting, as the water is said to have healing effects. Well, do you dare to try a sip of it? To the right of the entrance to the Tourist Information there is a model of the Elisenbrunnen, which is intended to help blind people in particular to feel the extensive building structure.
