Station 5: Soap & brush massage

The soap & brush massage is a particular highlight of the Friedrichsbad. It's optional and can be booked in addition to the bathing experience.

For eight minutes strong hands move over your entire body. Water and soap is spread evenly and afterwards you are massaged with a brush.

This acts like a skin peel and is the ideal preparation for the following bath in the curative thermal water. The massage enhances the circulation in your skin - a fountain of youth for your body.

Unfortunately, due to the current staff shortage, we are currently unable to offer the soap brush massage. We ask for your understanding.
