Themed Saunas
Palatinate. Inspiration.
Forest Sauna
90°C
Infusion sauna
The Palatinate Forest—the largest contiguous forest area in Germany—with its legendary castle ruins forms the backdrop for the largest infusion sauna at the Südpfalz Therme: A massive stone stove stands at the center, and the design evokes a cozy mountain lodge—a place to breathe deeply, warm up, and unwind.
Meadow Sauna
85°C
Infusion sauna
Enjoy the wonderful panoramic view of the spa park with its expansive meadows and trees. Inspired by the teachings of Sebastian Kneipp, who used many native wild herbs in his therapies, the Meadow Sauna features pressed flowers, herbs, and grasses that release a delicate fragrance.
Riesling Sauna
80°C
Automatic infusion sauna
In the ambiance of a Palatinate wine cellar, this sauna presents the region from its most enjoyable side. The pleasant warmth and special atmosphere invite you to relax and perspire.
Rose Sauna / Ruusu® Sauna
75°C
A sensual sauna experience centered around the rose—enveloped in gentle warmth, natural fragrance, and the visual highlight of a stove clad in Rosa Porrino. Illuminated rose quartz stones enhance the harmonizing effect.
Almond Organic Sauna
60 °C - 50% humidity
As you relax while reclining under an almond tree, this sauna lets you experience the magic of the pink blossoms that transform our region into a sea of pink every spring. With gentle warmth and mild humidity, a visit here can promote regeneration and a sense of well-being.
The birch wood comes from the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve. Locally sourced, sustainably harvested, and expertly crafted—for a unique, natural sauna experience.
Montanus Grotto
Steam Bath
With peeling treatments
Named after the naturopath Tabernae Montanus, this steam bath combines high humidity, pleasant warmth, and nourishing peeling treatments—ideal for letting go in an elegant setting.
Cooling Down
Invigorating. Fresh.
Diverse cooling options indoors and outdoors delight sauna enthusiasts. Whether at the ice fountain, in one of the plunge pools or deluge showers, at the Kneipp element, or simply strolling across the sauna deck—invigorate your circulation.
Relaxation Areas
Quiet. Relax.
Whether socializing on the sauna roof garden, in the rustic forest lounge, or comfortably in the fireplace lounge—everywhere you will find retreats for reading, resting, or simply unwinding and switching off. During the summer months, the roof garden invites you to sunbathe textile-free, and the sauna deck is perfect for relaxing.
Infusions and Events
The interplay of warmth, fragrance, and freshness makes the sauna experience special. Varied infusions with essential oils take place every half hour to hour—often with small extras.
Long Sauna Nights
Wellness until midnight
From October through March, on the first Saturday of every month, the Südpfalz Therme hosts its “Long Sauna Night.” On this evening, you can enjoy the saunas to your heart’s content, bathe nude, and experience a special program with plenty of extras. The sauna event begins at 6 p.m. and ends at midnight. From that point on, the spa is reserved exclusively for nude bathing.
Please note: Special events have their own admission regulations.
Annual Calendar
Regional. Aromatic.
The Südpfalz Therme celebrates what defines the region: landscape, joie de vivre, people, culinary delights, and the healthy climate of the Palatinate. The monthly offerings combine wellness, active programs, moments of indulgence, and aromas—for relaxing and inspiring getaways.
