CITTASLOW
Bad Schussenried is participating!
At Hotel Amerika, we're proud to be part of Bad Schussenried, a member of Cittaslow Germany. Here, life moves at a deliberately slower pace, and we warmly invite you to experience it with us.
What does Cittaslow mean?
The term combines the Italian word città (city) with the English word slow—literally, “slow city.” Founded in Italy in 1999 and inspired by the Slow Food movement, Cittaslow encourages towns to prioritize quality of life, local culture, and sustainability.
