SodiumChloruresBrome
Bodetal Therme Thale, in Saxony-Anhalt, offers sodium-chloride thermal water at 34°C. Indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a hammam and massage make up this German thermal bath complex.
Insider tip — Thale sits at the entrance to the Bodetal (Bode Gorge) — the Harz Mountains' most dramatic canyon, where the Bode River cuts through 200-meter basalt and granite cliffs. The Hexentanzplatz (Witches' Dance Floor) lookout above the gorge is where pre-Christian Germanic peoples celebrated Walpurgisnacht (April 30), the night when witches supposedly flew to their mountain sabbath. Cable car up to the cliff edge, then descend to soak in the Bodetal Therme's saline waters — a uniquely atmospheric sequence in the shadow of ancient pagan Germany.
