This beautiful Russian Orthodox Church sits on top of Neroberg. This is a fantastic park to do just that. We love visiting parks because it allows us to get into nature and escape the city life for a bit.
There are garden areas, fountains, sculptures and so much more. If you’re looking for a beautiful stroll through a wooded area without climbing a big hill, this is the place for it. Kurpark is located behind the beautiful Kurhaus. Plus, it has that stellar cityscape view. The thing we didn’t make it to this time, that I want to do next time is visit Opelbad! It’s hilltop pool with slides and looks like all kinds of fun. There are vineyards lining the hillside and you can see the stunning gold domes of the Russian Orthodox Church found at the top of the hill. There are some amazing open areas to take in some stellar views of the cityscape of Wiesbaden. It’s interesting to walk through and take those in. In addition to the stellar views from the top of Neroberg there’s a lot to see and do up there! There’s a park with a beautiful pavilion and monuments from WW1. You go up through the trees and pop out on top where you can walk around and enjoy the views on top of Neroberg. It’s a short trip, but it’s a lot of fun. There’s a large hill at the edge of Wiesbaden called Neroberg that you can either walk up/down or you can take the funicular to the top! The funicular costs €4 or €5 for an adult ( one-way or return) or €2.50 or €3 for a child ( one-way or return). Take the Funicular to the Top of the Town The Kaiser-Fredrich-Therme and Thermalbad Aukammtal are great spas to visit to relax and heal your body. In addition to these fun stops, you can also soak in baths around Wiesbaden. This is a spot that you can snag a drink of fresh hot spring water! The fountain in the photo to the left stays a consistent 150 degrees Fahrenheit! Under a small gazebo near this larger fountain is the smaller fountain on the right. One of the most famous hot springs is one that was turned into a fountain in the middle of town, Kochbrunnen. Wiesbaden literally means “meadow baths”. You could probable guess from the “baden” in the name Wiesbaden that there are hot springs and baths in the area.

Marktkirch was completed in 1862 and it’s free to enter. It’s just beautiful! Marktkirch is located near the center of the city in the square that holds a lot of “happenings” like the farmer’s market and even the World Cup watch parties we attended while in Wiesbaden. Most larger churches are built of stone, and this detailed, brick exterior just really caught my attention and stuck with me – its spires command attention, even from across town. Marktkirch is the tallest building in Wiesbaden, and in addition to that it’s a super-stunning building! This church is built from brick, which really makes it stand out in the landscape.
Marvel in the Brick Beauty of Marktkirche Lucky for us, Jason knew all the best things to do in Wiesbaden to send us off to explore while he was at work to explore together! We knew nothing about Wiesbaden and didn’t have any idea what we were going to do there.
Matt’s cousin, Jason, is living there and he graciously hosted us for a little over a week. Wiesbaden, Germany became our little hub while traveling in Germany.
