Practical tips: reservations, what to bring, and etiquette
Reserve massage treatments and Bathhouse time in advance when possible; spaces and guided sessions (like Aufguss) can fill up. For Sporting Club access, confirm pool hours and any required waivers upon arrival.
Bring a swimsuit, flip-flops or pool shoes, and a towel if you prefer—though facilities typically supply towels and lockers. Shower before entering thermal pools and follow staff directions for plunge and sauna use.
- Reserve Bathhouse Day Pass or treatments ahead, especially evenings and weekends
- Bring swimsuit and flip-flops; Bathhouse and Sporting Club provide towels and lockers
- Shower before pools, supervise children, and follow staff guidance for hot/cold transitions
| Before you go | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Book treatments and Day Pass in advance | Ensures availability and preferred times |
| Bring ID and room info (check-in age rules apply) | Bathhouse/staff may verify guest status |
| Ask about medical or pregnancy advisories | High-heat saunas and cold plunges may not be suitable for everyone |
