I went there the other day and was blown away by this hidden gem. I used the sauna (it was mixed that day, male & female) and steam room, I'm rarely impressed but the staff as well as the service was fantastic, I also used the massage services from a well trained therapist that was amazing let alone the price 20 Euros for 30 minutes. This facility run by the city of Mannheim is a must for everyone looking for a swim, massage or sauna let alone the historic architecture.

Overall, I really dug the variety of pools--about 4 different temperatures, the ability to swim…read morefrom inside to out, and a nice patio area outside. I also liked that you could go on an upper deck and catch some warm sun through the windowed roof. It was a refreshing venture while in Stuttgart and super easy to get to on the tram.

I love me a thermal bath. Been lucky enough to visit some great ones in Hungary, Canada and…read moreIceland. This is right up there in terms of facilities, cleanliness and general enjoyment. I visited twice during my week in Stuttgart. The first time I used both the swimming baths and sauna area (on 2nd visit, sauna was female only. Check before visiting). Sauna area is nude. Something I've never experienced before but quickly became used to it. Make sure you check the 'ausguss' timetable in the sauna area for when you can take part in the ritual of having red hot steam blasted into your face by a towel twirling attendant (more fun than it sounds). Swimming area is not nude and has a brilliant outdoor section with a small, fast flowing lazy river. I visited both Leuze and Canstatt mineral baths during my time in Stuttgart and in my opinion, Leuze has the best sauna area but Canstatt has the best and more modern swimming area. Definitely worth a visit during your time in Stuttgart and I hope I can come back one day.

It is the open-air pool of Weinheim, owned by the local sports' club and subsidized by the town…read more The renovation, completed not even two years ago, was badly needed and came almost too late. It is open in summer only. It is situated towards Gorxheim, surrounded by woods, on a fairly large aerial, with football (soccer) places attached. The Grundelbach, a little brook that flows from Gorxheim through Weinheim, feeds the pools. There are two main pools, one for swimmers, one for non-swimmers, and a little wading pool for tiny tots. Sprawling lawns for sunbathing, volleyball or badminton fields, and a little shop for drinks and snacks complete the scenery. The pools are lined with metal which looks cool even if the water is not (there is a heating system). Unfortunately, the renovations did away with the diving platform and the extra wide slide into the non-swimmers' is not an adequate replacement. Parking right in front is at a premium, but a short walk up into the forest leads to another well-shaded parking lot. As an alternative, the bus stop is right in front.

Die Therme an sich in Ordnung, aber mein Erlebnis mit dem Bademantelverleih war enttäuschend. Ich…read morehabe einen Bademantel ausgeliehen (40 € Pfand, 7 € Gebühr), aber nach dem Besuch der Dampfsauna war er verschwunden - vermutlich versehentlich von jemand anderem mitgenommen. Obwohl ich das sofort gemeldet habe, wurde ich an der Rezeption sofort abgewiesen. Keine Kulanz, keine Lösungsvorschläge - nur ein Konversation welche man mit "Pech gehabt" zusammenfassen konnte und die Forderung, die 40 € zu zahlen. Das restliche Personal war freundlich und verständnisvoll, aber die Person an der Rezeption war direkt in Abwehrhaltung und hatte eine merkwürdige Art. Ein bisschen mehr Kundenorientierung hätte ich mir gewünscht. Neben der schlechten Erfahrung ist das auch eine fragwürdige Geschäftsentscheidung. Ich habe in der Vergangenheit mehrfach Gutscheine für Ihre Therme als Geschenk gekauft, doch nach dieser Erfahrung werde ich weder wiederkommen noch erneut Gutscheine kaufen. Auf lange Sicht verliert die Therme damit weit mehr Geld, als wenn sie in solchen Fällen kulanter handeln würde. Auch nach schildern der Situation über die Info-Email wird darauf behaart, dass ich das Geld nicht zurückerstattet oder gutgeschrieben bekomme.

Oh my! What an experience!…read more This is a perfect palm paradise. Swimming pool/spa/sauna extravaganza. But I must say right now that most of it is nude. There are several different packages you can buy. Just the pool (textiles) or the vital thermen which includes pool, sauna, spa (textiles free). We opted for this. It cost €29 (+€3 extra as was bank holiday/weekend). You are given a watch like wrist band which enables you to enter certain areas. When entering, there is a sign in German which roughly translates to 'you must remove your textiles now (also no phones or photos after this point)'. Okay, drop the bathing suits, and after a few minutes of feeling a bit coy, you can release your inner mermaid and take pride in your body as everyone else around you is also in the nude! There is a bar in the pool. You can get cocktails, you can get coffees and drink them in the pool! Three glasses of prosecco please! You use your watch wrist band to pay for these - it tallies what you've spent and you pay at the end when you leave - very clever. The inside is amazing, albeit a little tacky. Huge palm trees surround all the many pools, along with plastic orchids! Lots of jacuzzi's and bubble streams. You can swim outside, it was freezing and raining, but so nice and warm under the water. I could imagine it being amazing if it were snowing, or equally in the sun. There are about 7 or 8 different saunas to choose from. From 60 degrees, up to 90 degrees. Japanese theme, Finnish, Moroccan, Viennese. All sorts. They also have infusionists shows. We saw a guy dressed like Mozart waft a towel around in the sauna. There was also a cinema sauna which was playing nature documentaries. Nothing like sitting in a sauna full of naked strangers watching armadillos trying to mate! There is a salt pool which has so much salt in it you literally float like in the Dead Sea. There is also a calcium-lithium pool which is good for your bones and wellbeing. We put our 'textiles' back on and went to the other pool and bar and enjoyed a pina colada in the jacuzzi. Just perfect!
