Königliche Kristall-Therme is a thermal spa complex in Schwangau, Bavaria, Germany, near the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. Its sodium-chloride thermal water is kept around 34°C (pH 7.3); the site features indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, a hammam and massage services.
Insider tip — The Königliche Kristall-Therme Schwangau occupies one of Germany's most spectacular thermal spa settings — just 4 km from Neuschwanstein Castle, the fairy-tale turretted palace of King Ludwig II of Bavaria that inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle and Cinderella's Castle. From the outdoor rooftop pools, guests look directly at the Alpsee lake and the snow-capped Alps with Neuschwanstein's towers visible above the forest. The thermal waters come from Alpine brine springs. Arguably the most visually dramatic thermal spa view in Germany.
