Bad Berneck im Fichtelgebirge (German pronunciation: [baːt ˈbɛʁnɛk ʔɪm ˈfɪçtl̩ɡəˌbɪʁɡə] ⓘ, lit. 'Bad Berneck in the Fichtel Mountains') is a spa town in the Bayreuth district of Bavaria, Germany, 13 km northeast of Bayreuth.
The town is situated on the White Main river, in the Fichtel Mountains of the northern part of Upper Franconia. Since 1857 it has been a spa, initially based on its climate and whey products. In 1930, it became a Kneipp spa and, in 1950, a Kneipp health spa.
