Obermain Therme is a thermal saline bath with sauna facilities in Bad Staffelstein, a town in Lichtenfels district in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany, opened in 1986 and drawing on the salt-bearing thermal mineral waters of the Franconian Upper Main valley whose geological basement — the Triassic Muschelkalk and Keuper formations of the Germanic Basin — concentrates chloride-sulfate mineral waters within a long thermal tradition. Bad Staffelstein is situated in the Upper Main valley near the pilgrimage basilica of Vierzehnheiligen, one of the masterpieces of eighteenth-century German Baroque architecture by Balthasar Neumann, making it a destination that combines thermal wellness with access to one of Bavaria's most celebrated sacred and artistic monuments. The Obermain Therme's thermal saline pools, indoor and outdoor bathing areas, and comprehensive sauna landscape represent the German Therme format at its established Upper Franconian expression, serving regional wellness tourism in the landscape of Franconian Baroque churches, wine villages, and the upper Main River.
