Bad Wiessee is a spa town in Bavaria, Germany. Located close to the border with Austria, Bad Wiessee is in the district of Miesbach, in the administrative region of Upper Bavaria. It covers 32.79 sq km (12.66 sq mi) and has a population of 4,600 people (2012 estimate).

The position of Bad Wiessee as a spa town stems from the discovery of the sulphur fountain by Dutch oil explorer Adriaan Stoop in the early 20th century. The name Bad Wiessee translates roughly as "spa on the western shore of the lake". The lake in question is Tegernsee.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
