Located in the charming town of Bad Berka, Thuringe, near Weimar and its cultural riches, Goethe-Therme is a thermal spa that offers a relaxing experience. The warm chlorurée water is part of a long thermal tradition. Visitors can unwind in the outdoor pool or indulge in spa treatments. The historic building has been beautifully restored.
Insider tip — Bad Berka's Goethe Therme takes its name from the poet Goethe who visited these Thuringian mineral springs while traveling between Weimar and Erfurt. The town lies in the forested Ilm valley south of Weimar, and the chloride-bicarbonate waters have been used for cardiac and circulatory rehabilitation since the 18th century. Pair a thermal session with a visit to the Goethe-era historic buildings that line the Kurpark promenade above the spring house.
