Few experiences are more relaxing than visiting the thermal bath. After a tip from friends, we…read moredecided to check out the Saarland Therme this year to try a new place. Located just across the border from Sarreguemines, we enjoyed a lovely drive through Alsace and part of Lorraine in order to get there.
Once arriving, we were happy to find that parking was ample and free in the adjacent lot! We paid for a four hour pass and towel rental before proceeding to check the place out.
In addition to indoor and outdoor tubs of various temperatures and pH levels, there's also a very relaxing salty bath for floating in (featuring salt from the Dead Sea), saunas, steam rooms, and a restaurant. We spent our time hopping from one to the next and enjoying the various benefits of each thermal bath that morning.
Compared to other places, this one is smaller, but it's also less crowded. It was a little more pricey, but that may be offset by the benefit of free parking. The only thing that neither of us could figure out was why the smoking area was right next to the outdoor pool, meaning that those enjoying the outdoor part of the facility had to smell cigarettes while in the water.
We overall enjoyed ourselves and while were glad to check out a new place, we will probably stick to our old standby in the future since it's closer and we like it a bit better.
