Bad Nenndorf is a spa town in the district of Schaumburg in Lower Saxony. Located about 25 km to the west of Hanover, Bad Nenndorf covers 23 sq km (8.9 sq mi) and has a population of 10,500 people (2012 estimate).

The history of Bad Nenndorf is traced back to the 9th century. It was the property of the Counts of Schaumburg from 1311. Its name indicates the presence of a bath, or spring. In this case, it is a sulphur spring that was first recorded in 1546. Spa facilities were built here in 1787.

Due to its pungent adour, sulphur springs were despised as "devil's excrement". But when their therapeutic properties were discovered, the spa at Bad Nenndorf became one of the most successful in Germany, as the potency of its waters was credited for treating rheumatism, arthritis and various skin ailments.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
