Discover Bad Griesbach-Therme

There are different ways to experience Bad Griesbach-Therme: walk barefoot over changing surfaces in the spa park and by the spa forest, join a local history walk held every Wednesday, or enjoy spa concerts whose venue depends on the weather. The Wohlfühl-Therme Bad Griesbach also offers thermal water and a hammam. If you are looking for accommodation, you can start by considering which of these experiences you would like to shape your stay.

Thermal Water and Hammam

The Wohlfühl-Therme Bad Griesbach mainly uses water from the Nikolaus spring. It rises to the surface from a depth of 1,522 metres at a temperature of around 60°C. Its depth and approximate temperature give the thermal water a distinctive character. The hammam at the Wohlfühl-Therme offers traditional Oriental bathing culture, with herbal steam baths, a dry sauna, a thermal pool, a soap massage and an Oriental relaxation room. Warmth, steam, massage and relaxation are different elements of the experience. Before visiting, check the operator’s latest information about the hammam’s seasonal reopening.

Barefoot Trail and Hiking Options

The Barefoot Trail in the spa park and by the spa forest in Bad Griesbach-Therme leads barefoot over a wide variety of surfaces: sand, sandstone slabs, shell limestone, a pole path, rounded gravel in different grades, granite paving, balance blocks, basalt chippings, cobblestones, boulders and round timber sections. The sequence makes the different materials directly perceptible. Sand and rounded gravel feel different from slabs, paving, boulders or round timber sections, making the changing surfaces the focus of the trail.
