It is moderately well known for its waters (good for stomach, gall bladder and liver disorders) and its 18th century castle, onetime residence of Prince-Bishop Clement Wenceslaus. Only a few years ago, tourists in Bad Bertrich seemed to be just about as dead as Clement: the bath houses were in disrepair, the castle was falling apart, and mighty few American or even British gall bladders were in evidence. Then, a new administrative director named Wilhelm Hammer...
