I usually come here on Mondays when I'm in town for Ladies only Sauna. Before the Sauna I swim a…read morelittle bit in the pool which is part indoor and part outdoor. They have a big poster that explains the thermal baths historically. Very interesting and worth reading. The Sauna area is very big and provides different types of sauna like the Finnish sauna, steam bath, water pond, ice to cool off after the sauna, and a restaurant area with plenty of seating. I particularly love the scheduled Aufguss Sauna Sessions. They let ice balls infused with essential oils melt over the sauna heating system. It can get very hot but it is very relaxing. The restaurant has basic food that is just okay. It offers plenty of coffee beverages, alcoholic drinks, and refreshing alcohol free drinks. Be aware that according to German manner you have to or can occupy the lounge chairs with your stuff to keep them reserved for you.

Not a real Thermalbad. More of a public pool with a few hot tubs. Crowded, noisy suspiciously…read moreunhygienic.

How lucky is Darmstadt to have this Art Nouveau swimming complex? Note that most of the pool areas…read moreare not that suitable for lap swimming, because the main pool has a rope across the middle between the shallow and deep sections, and the outdoor pool is mostly for families, and therefore gets a little too crowded. However, it is definitely nice for swimming a few strokes and just relaxing! The best part, of course, is the sauna and steam room complex, with every temperature and combination of wet and dry sauna that you could imagine and want! A note for people traveling from abroad that this is a European style sauna, so it is coed and nude, but people are very respectful, and it was a very nice environment to relax either by yourself or with friends. A particular highlight was the outdoor sauna space and Terrace, which allows you to take in views of the city from an area of relative privacy. The pricing was very reasonable, and I would gladly come again!

This is one of the more unusual public pools in the area. Built on a slope, it was possible to…read morefurnish the main pool with a large glass window through which one can see the swimmers or divers from underneath. It is reminiscent of some newer penguin or polar bear enclosures in certain zoos. Somehow real zany in a nice kind of way! For the courageous there is 10m diving platform and lawn for sunbathing for the lazy. At the end of the day, chips (without fish!) are sold for half price. It is open from 8am to 7pm.
