Bad Saarow

Bad Saarow (Lower Sorbian: Zarow, pronounced [ˈzarɔw]; 1950–2002: Bad Saarow-Pieskow) is a municipality in the Oder-Spree district, in Brandenburg, Germany.

The place is known for its hot springs and for its mineral-rich mud. Their healing properties have attracted visitors for many years, and in 1923 led to the town's name acquiring the prefix Bad ("bath", "spa").

Nearby are the Dubrower Berge, a range of wooded hills popular with hikers and cyclists.

History

From 1815 to 1947, Bad Saarow was part of the Prussian Province of Brandenburg, from 1947 to 1952 of the State of Brandenburg, from 1952 to 1990 of the Bezirk Frankfurt of East Germany and since 1990 again of Brandenburg.
