How to reach Germany's hot springs

Frankfurt for Baden-Baden and the Taunus; Munich for Bavaria's giant thermen (Erding). The Black Forest and Eifel springs pair well with driving tours. Public transport is excellent throughout.

Where Germany's springs cluster

  • Baden-Baden — The grand old Kurstadt: Friedrichsbad's Roman-Irish ritual and Caracalla's modern therme.
  • Bavaria — Therme Erding — Europe's largest thermal complex — plus Altötting.
  • Eifel & Rhineland — Volcanic Eifel springs and the Rhine valley thermen.

Best time to visit

Year-round; winter is peak therme season when the outdoor pools steam against the cold. Summer brings beer-garden season to the Kur towns.

Good to know

Sauna areas are traditionally nude (textilfrei) and mixed — the thermal bathing pools usually require swimwear. Silence is expected in saunas, and the Aufguss (infusion ritual) runs on a schedule — arrive early for a spot.
