OK - I'll be a bit kinder in this round than I was in my Trip Advisor review, partially due to the…read morefact that this will be the first Yelp review in English, and secondly, that the other Yelp reviews speak largely to the architectural beauty of the structure, and the museum like qualities of the sculptures, the woodwork, and simply the ornate beauty of the place. I'm on board with all that. Where my review gets dicey is when you try to compare this with the ultra self-indulgent thermal and sauna complexes that are sprouting up all over northern Europe. Not a fair comparison, it seems.... As you approach the building, it is quite imposing along the river banks (literally across the street from the Deutsches Museum). I thought, "this is gonna be great!" Once inside however, I found a few things to be more challenging than I had expected. * I was unable to locate a map of the place, and after looking at the menu of fees; I still was unable to figure out exactly what I was asking for. * The person working the admission booth was quite friendly, but apparently had NO English whatsoever. I'm good with that, but... * Signage around the place was sort of hit and miss, especially since you have to leave some of your belongings in a small box near the attendant, (who also only spoke German, but was significantly more curt!) * I kept thinking I would find a map of the place so I would know where the various baths and saunas were located. If such a thing exists, it's still a mystery to me. At one point, I made my way into the hall with the main pool wrapped only in a towel, only to find the door (that would lead me back to the sauna) locked behind me. Finally figured out my wristband would unlock the door, after a bit of wondering how I would negotiate getting out of the spa in only a towel. * But most importantly, assuming I found all the major features on offer, I was a little surprised there wasn't more there. Granted, I was there on a Wednesday afternoon, but having said that, I was surprised to find the only two dozen or so other patrons in the entire place, and most of them were, shall we say, of the elder population. All the reports about the beauty of the facility are true, as it was certainly a gem of the late 19th century, and has been well preserved. Somehow, I think that I expected there would be a bit more in the sauna area, and that even if exclusively in German, the staff would be a bit more helpful to a wayward and weary tourist. Maybe four or five stars on another day with a different attendant working the locker room, but not this time around!

This spa offers a lot - like the salt peeling. And the team was super friendly. Unfortunately we lost our black towel at the pool. I guess someone's mistake. But after all it was a nice stay.

So the management decided to make Saturday nights special and open the entire complex to nudist bathing - adults only. This worked for a decade or so - during which time, the sauna area was expanded, until the management decided it was time to restrict the nudist area to the "vitality spa" (they have some funny names for stuff). So it's no longer possible to let it all swing on a Saturday night in Bad Wörishofen - hardly a party town in any case. And that means if you're making a special journey, go to Erding instead.

I've been to Wonnemar on both of these kinds of days...and, left happy and relaxed both times. Part kid water park, part adult spa, Wonnemar itself has multiple personalities. And, multiple locations...seven to be exact. This one is in Ingolstadt. For the young (or young at heart), there are indoor and outdoor pools (with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas) and water slides. If you'd rather not be splashed, you can segregate yourself in the adult spa area and soak in one of the heated pools, cook in the sauna, or breathe deep in the salt room. (If you've never tried a salt room, this is reason enough to come here.) Bring a towel, a bathing suit, flip flops, the price of admission, your own snacks and relax for awhile.
