Palais Thermal open daily from 10 a.m. – more time to unwind
While the Vital Therme is closed for scheduled annual maintenance, there is good news for wellness lovers: from 23 November to 6 December 2026, all areas of the Palais Thermal will open daily from 10:00 a.m. – including Monday to Friday.
More wellness time in the morning – even on weekdays
A visit to Bad Wildbad is especially appealing from Monday to Friday during this period: at the historic Palais Thermal, the thermal water pools, sauna area and relaxation zones are available from 10:00 a.m. during the maintenance period. That leaves more time for a relaxing spa day without having to wait until the afternoon.
Historic thermal baths, saunas and warm thermal water
The Palais Thermal combines magnificent historic bathing halls, warm thermal water pools, a varied sauna landscape, a steam bath and a year-round heated outdoor pool. The colder months make this combination particularly special: fresh Black Forest air outdoors, with peace, soothing warmth and historic bathing culture indoors.
The extended opening hours apply to the entire Palais Thermal, not just individual pools. Nothing changes on Saturdays or Sundays, when the thermal spa already opens at 10:00 a.m. The main benefit is the additional morning time from Monday to Friday. A special feature is the new swimwear sauna next to the Blue Bath, which is heated to around 70 °C.
Mokni’s hotel guests can start relaxing even earlier
Guests staying at Mokni’s Palais Hotel & SPA continue to enjoy exclusive early access: the Blue Bath opens at 8:00 a.m., with the outdoor pool and panorama sauna opening at 9:00 a.m. From 10:00 a.m., all remaining areas of the Palais Thermal are also available. Admission to the directly connected thermal spa is already included in the room rate for regular hotel stays.
Even more convenient: from the “Badhotel” building, you can walk straight into the Palais Thermal in your bathrobe. This makes it easy to plan your morning around breakfast, thermal water and sauna time.
