In Gunzenhausen, Bavaria, Freizeitbad Juramare combines a large 25-metre pool with a saline area where bathers can enjoy sea-like salt water, alongside a hot whirlpool and steam bath. Its Black-Hole slide, over 100 metres long, is one of the standout attractions in the Altmühlsee lake region.
Right next door, the Saunadorf spa village spans roughly 2,200 square metres devoted to relaxation, with a Kelo earth sauna, bio-sauna, steam bath, sauna garden and an outdoor pool fitted with jet loungers — a seasonal retreat for wellness and calm.
Insider tip — The Altmuhlsee Therme in Gunzenhausen is uniquely positioned beside one of Franconia's largest recreational lakes, offering a rare combination of open-water swimming and indoor bicarbonate thermal baths at 38°C. The spring emerges from Jurassic limestone formations of the Altmuhl Valley, giving the water a smooth, mildly alkaline character. Visiting in early evening allows you to watch the lake sunset from the outdoor pool before retreating to the warmer mineral baths inside.
