Black Forest Thermal Baths
More about the thermal baths in Bad Wildbad
Wellness holidays, thermal spas and the Black Forest – in Bad Wildbad, these have belonged together for centuries. The thermal water is one of the reasons why the town is still known for its bathing culture today.
Bad Wildbad in the Black Forest is famous for its thermal water, which has long been appreciated by doctors and spa guests. Many visitors to the Northern and Southern Black Forest swear by bathing in the warm springs of Bad Wildbad’s thermal baths.
The thermal water is mainly used externally – in the pools and swimming pools of the “Vital Therme” and the directly connected “Palais Thermal”.
According to the recognised German “Classification for Healing Waters”, the thermal water is classified as fluoride-containing sodium-calcium-chloride-hydrogen carbonate acratotherm.
The secret lies in the combination of soothing warmth and rich minerals. In the “Badhotel” building of our wellness hotel, thermal water even flows directly in your bathroom.
