Friedrichsbad Rüdesheim is a historic thermal spa in Rüdesheim am Rhein, the famous wine town in the Rhine Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, where naturally occurring calcium, bicarbonate, and sodium-rich mineral spring waters have been harnessed for bathing. Rüdesheim is celebrated worldwide for its Drosselgasse wine street, its Niederwald monument, and its position in the dramatic Rhine Gorge landscape, and the Friedrichsbad adds a thermal dimension to the cultural richness of this iconic German Rhine destination. The mineral spring waters are appreciated for their gentle, naturally alkaline character within a long thermal tradition, offering visitors to this famous wine and cultural center the additional pleasure of restorative mineral bathing in a setting defined by the spectacular scenery and cultural heritage of the German Rhine.

Insider tip — Friedrichsbad Rüdesheim is a historic thermal bath in the heart of the Rheingau wine region, where naturally mineralised bicarbonate water has been used for bathing since medieval times. The spa sits above a cellar where Rhine wines have aged for centuries, and the combination of thermal bathing and wine tasting makes for an incomparably Rhenish experience. The calcium-bicarbonate water is gentle and pleasant on the skin. Book the evening session when the bath is quieter and Rhine valley views glow gold at sunset.
