Börde Therme in Bad Sassendorf

In the heart of the Westphalian spa town of Bad Sassendorf, the Börde Therme invites visitors to leave everyday life behind. Those seeking peace, warmth, and soothing treatments will find the perfect place to relax and recharge.

Two indoor and two outdoor pools invite visitors to relax and float – with a view of the spa park. The thermal pools are filled with natural brine from the region's recognized healing springs. The pleasantly warm and mineral-rich water relaxes muscles and joints, while also benefiting the skin and respiratory system.

In addition to the eight saunas and wellness area, Börde Therme offers other retreats: for example, the sea salt grotto, whose salty air makes breathing easier and provides deep relaxation. The spacious relaxation house with a cozy fireplace corner, as well as the stylishly designed quiet rooms, offer plenty of space to unwind. For those who prefer a more active experience, there is the opportunity to participate in the regularly held underwater gymnastics in the activity pool.

The sauna landscape at Börde Therme offers a wide range – from classic hot to gently tempered – ensuring there is something to suit every preference for relaxation and regeneration.

For classic infusions, the panoramic sauna (70 °C) with a wide view and the boiling hut (90 °C) with hourly ceremonies are available. Those looking for a milder option will find the Sanarium (bio-sauna, 50 – 60 °C) or the Caldarium (40 – 50 °C) with gentle radiant heat perfect. Steam bath enthusiasts can enjoy the Börde fog (42 – 45 °C), where high humidity and subtle aromas pamper the skin and respiratory system.

Special themed rooms complement the offerings: The Börde distillery evokes an old distillery and is designed with natural scents, while the graduation tower sauna (80°C), with light effects and wood finishes, creates a peaceful atmosphere. The salt cavern sauna (80 – 90°C) reflects local tradition, creating a relaxing environment with backlit salt stones. The crystal sauna (90 – 95°C) combines high temperatures with decorative minerals such as amethyst and rose quartz.

Whether it's a classic massage or an innovative body treatment, the wellness offerings at Börde Therme provide a variety of ways to relax. Visitors can choose from a range of massages – from the classic back massage to specially tailored packages that combine multiple treatments. In addition, heat applications provide further relaxation.

In the cosmetics area, high-quality treatments are available for the entire body. A special highlight of the therme is the moor treatments using the original Bad Sassendorf moor.

Börde Therme is located in the spa town of Bad Sassendorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, just a few kilometers east of Soest. Thanks to its central location between the Ruhr area and the Sauerland, it is easily accessible from many directions.

For those traveling by car, Bad Sassendorf can be reached via the A44 (Dortmund–Kassel) – exit Soest-Ost (AS 57) – then follow the B1 towards Bad Sassendorf. From the Sauerland (e.g. Arnsberg), the journey is also convenient via A46 and B229. Those coming from the Münsterland typically take the B475, which merges into the B1 near Soest. The therme is well-signposted in the town center, and there is a large, free parking lot directly at the building.

For those using public transport, getting there is easy as well: The Bad Sassendorf train station is connected to the regional railway network and is just a few minutes' walk from the therme. Additionally, there are regular bus connections to the town.
