The health resort Bad Elster is in the south of the Saxon Vogtlandes in a valley widening of the upper White Elster, 5 km south of Adorf and 2 km from the Czech border. Of the mineral springs, the Moritzquelle was already known in 1669 and was described by Georg Leisner at the time, but Bad Elster had only seen an upswing since it was taken over by the state in 1849.

Also the station on the railway line Plauen–Bad Brambach is about 2.5 km away from the village, in the district Mulhouse. The line is used by Vogtlandbahn trains every two hours.

The center of the health resort is the Bathing place on the right side of the Elster, which is framed by spas from different eras - the oldest is from 1850/51 - and in the middle of which is the Marienquelle. I attach the music pavilion to the bathing area. Next to it is again the Art changing hall with the Moritzquelle, the oldest spring in Bad Elster, and the bathing museum, which is open Wednesday to Sunday from 2.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. That is on the other side of the bathing area Albertbad, which was built between 1908 and 1910 and is reminiscent of a baroque castle.
