Description & Details
Nestled in the spa district of Bad Urach, AlbThermen awaits – a very special thermal bath with retro charm and healing waters from a depth of 700 meters. Here, authentic 1970s flair meets a relaxing atmosphere and panoramic views of the Swabian Alb.
AlbThermen Bad Urach offers a calm and soothing bathing experience in a unique setting. Instead of sleek glass facades, you'll find a well-maintained facility with vintage charm: chandeliers, elegant details, and 70s-style architecture give the spa its distinct character.
At the heart of it all is the pure thermal water, drawn from a depth of 700 meters. In six pools with temperatures ranging between 90 – 100°F, guests can unwind indoors and outdoors. The water is completely renewed three times a day and is known to be especially beneficial for joints, back, and muscles. Aqua aerobics classes are also offered regularly.
After a bath, a sauna session or a wellness treatment, guests can enjoy good food in the in-house restaurant.
Saunas
A true highlight is the expansive sauna area featuring ten different types of heat baths. Guests can choose from a classic Finnish sauna, steam bath, and themed experience saunas. The large AlbSauna, with space for 70 people, regularly hosts impressive infusion ceremonies enhanced with essential oils and performed by experienced sauna masters.
The sauna courtyard and sun terrace not only offer plenty of space to relax but also provide sweeping views of the Swabian Alb. A dedicated indoor sauna pool and lovingly designed relaxation zones make it easy to enjoy an extended break.
