Which effects does the thermal water have?

Baden-Baden's thermal water rises from a depth of 2000 metres and thanks to being highly mineralised, with approx. 3000 milligrams of minerals per litre, it ranks among Germany's most mineral-rich waters. With temperatures of between 32° and 68°C, it regenerates and stimulates the entire body enhancing your wellbeing and aiding relaxation.

Can I take my glasses into the sauna complex?

You can of course take your glasses with you to the sauna area. You will find plenty of storage space in front of every sauna. Due to the high temperatures in the saunas and the humidity in the steam bath, we recommend that you take off your glasses before using the sauna in order to avoid damage.
