1984 Press Photo Kurhaus Spa Grounds are Snow Covered, Weisbaden, West Germany

Rhine Country, West Germany - Winter's first snow covers Weisbaden's famous Kurhaus spa, with its gambling casino, park and theater. Nature designed this gemutlich universe at resort spas eons ago, but it wasn't until 1 A.D. that the Romans reaped their pleasure. Emperor Caracalla and his legions wallowed in the mineral springs or "golden waters" because of their recuperative powers.
