If you are holidaying in the German ski resort of Oberstdorf, be sure to visit the Oberstdorf Therme holiday centre in the heart of the town. This is a complex of outdoor and indoor pools, solariums, Alpine saunas, steam baths, aroma baths, children's and family areas. This is the place to relax and rejuvenate after a day on the slopes.
The complex is particularly proud of its thermal saltwater pool, which is beneficial in the treatment and prevention of many skin and musculoskeletal conditions. The spa has not forgotten its little guests: they can splash around in the shallow pools heated to 30 degrees, go down the water slides and play in the specially equipped playground during the warmer months.
The sauna complex, with a total area of 2000 square metres, is built in an Alpine style and will impress those who love steam baths. Rustic sauna cabins exude warmth and a cosy atmosphere. There are six types of sauna to choose from: aromatic sauna with lemon extract, crystal sauna with amethyst crystals, alpine sauna, infrared sauna and hay sauna.
One of the most popular attractions at Oberstdorf Spa is the wave pool, where adults and children alike can jump in and compete with the artificial water element.
When you get hungry, visit Alpenstadl, a restaurant with an outdoor summer terrace. It offers a wide range of fish and meat dishes, soups, salads, various types of pizza and coffee with all kinds of pastries. Next to the restaurant there is a bar with a wide range of drinks. It's worth noting that even if you don't have your own swimming costume, towels and bathrobe, you can hire them from the centre.
