Therme

Therme Erding is the world's largest thermal spa. Whether at adventure pool or sauna world, you can expect summer temperatures in all areas, turquoise water & refreshing cocktails in the pool, surrounded by real palm trees.

* 35 Saunas & Steam Baths
* 28 Slides & Virtual Reality
* 40 Pools & Health Baths

We recommend a minimum of 3 hours to enjoy this incredible spa. You should not miss it when you are in or around Munich.

Just don't complain there are naked people. Because if that's not your thing, there are plenty of other areas at Therme Erding for you where you can keep your swimsuit on.

Yelp is now urging me not to leave it hanging and show what I've got. This site brought to you in association with Therme Erding? Because if you head for the Thermenwelt ("spa world") then letting it all hang out is part of the program - for young and old, male and female, petite and portly.

In fact, if you embrace the textilfrei concept and leave your hangups in the (co-ed) locker room, then you'll quickly forget your self-consciousness. In fact, you'll feel more uncomfortable wearing a pair of what the Brits call "budgie smugglers" (Speedos) - as the odd one out.

Enjoy the FKK spirit but don't for a moment kid yourself that Therme Erding is focused on the principles of FKK. Especially the last five years, it has gone for the wallet's jugular vein. A suite? A mountain hut from Upper Bavaria with a DVD player and widescreen, for the day? Or a hotel for the night at twice the local rate?

The pool bar is fun, especially if you're a little tipsy. It's an experience, propping up the bar in your birthday suit.

My advice: don't go alone unless you're cruising - I can't give you any tips there but I've heard it's sometimes a thing. Recruit a friend if you're single; take your partner no matter how prudish they may be, and let the experience wash over you ...

The on-site restaurants aren't all that great but you can get overpriced Thai street food or decent-ish Italian. There's a resto in the textile area that offers burgers, too.

And please don't pee in the pool!

Today I want to write a review about the Therme Erding. The world biggest water park|hot spring|spa and sauna. As there are international Yelpers reading my reviews I try to write in English today.

The Therme Erding is divided into five different areas:

- Tropical Spa
- Waterpark with Wavepool
- waterslide paradise Galaxy
- Vitality Oasis (min. age 16)
- Saunaworld (min. age 16, naked area)

In addition you can choose about three different types of accommodations if needed:

- Hotel Victory
- Victory Guesthouse
- Caravan Park

If you enter the entrance you line up to pay the entrance fee. Here you have to decide how long you want to stay and what parts of the facility you want to use. If needed you can rent bathrobes and towels. After you paid (cash or with creditcard) you get an RFID-Tag for your wrist. Depending on what you booked you enter either the locker rooms for the Tropical Spa (including Galaxy, Wavepool, Vitality Oasis) or the locker rooms for the Saunaworld. Your RFID Tag locks and opens your locker (the number of the locker is printed on your tag).

Here is one important note - especially for non European visitors. The Saunaworld (including the Saunaworld locker rooms) is a naked area. That means it is not allowed to wear clothes starting at a certain point (you will see the signs). This fact has already led to one or the other cultural shock. But that's part of European sauna culture. Of course you can wear a bathrobe or wrap a towel around your body. Furthermore over 90% of the Saunaworld is not separated according to gender (except a small ladies area with ladies only sauna). The minimum age to use the Saunaworld is 16 years.

First I want to tell you what you get offered in the Tropical Spa with its Wavepool, Thermal springs water, Waterslides and the Vitality Oasis. On an area of about 27.500 square meters (9.000 inside - 18.500 outside) you find:

- 27 slides with together more than 2700 meters (from very easy to super thrilling)
- Wavepool with gentle waves
- textile sauna
- Whirlpools
- Body treatments (like Massage etc. )
- and of course different types of restaurant where you get food & drinks

The inner part of the Area is spanned by a big dome (56 meters in diameter) and can be opened halfway on warm weather conditions.

All your consummations you can book onto your RFID-Tag and pay when you leave the Therme Erding.

To prevent all visitors from drunk guests the stuff is only allowed to sell maximum three alcoholic drinks per person per day. That's a good decision if you ask me. Nevertheless you should try the Erding Weizenbeer!

If you like a more private area you can book some private suites and lounges - please ask for it at the entrance where you pay your entrance fee.

The second big area at Therme Erding is the Saunaworld. You can enter it directly at the entrance or you use the passage from the Tropical Spa to the Saunaworld (you get access with your RFID-tag)

In the Saunaworld you find 30 different themed saunas and over 300 different beauty and spa offers. It is almost mpossible to tell you all the different amenities and styles of the saunas, steambaths, pools and relaxation rooms.

You can choose from among "infusion sauna", "action sauna", "Roman sauna", or "steam bath". In 13 Infusion saunas infusion ceremonies with different fanning techniques take place several times each day. Masks, peelings, and other extras are available in nine action saunas. Three Roman saunas and two steam baths are waiting for you in the Roman Villa. After some of the infusion ceremonies you get for example a cold drink or an ice cream. There are body peelings with honey, salt or healing earth or masks with cocoa butter. You can bake bread rolls in one of the saunas - or - drink an Erdinger Weizenbeer in the men's only sauna (looks like an Bavarian pub).

This all you find at an Areal about 13.600 square meters. The main building is covered under a glas roof that weights 260 tons and can be opened on good weather conditions.

Of course there are a couple of restaurants for you to discover. (Thai, Steak, Italian)

Like in the Tropical Spa you can rent some private lounges and suites in the Saunaworld too. How about a suite at the lake with a bottle of champagne included? Ask for it at the entrance.

I can recommend the Therme Erding 100%. The stuff is friendly, everything is clean the prices are high but reasonable.

If you ever plan a visit in Munich think about a day of fun in the Therme Erding.

Despite the fact that this is the biggest Therme in the world it can get pretty crowded on special dates. So try to avoid the German holiday season, special Holidays (the time around Christmas) and be aware that on weekends there are of course much more visitors than on weekdays.

Of course it is not allowed to take photos inside the Therme because of privacy - I just add some pictures from my stay there at Hotel Victory. Visit their homepage for more information and pictures.

So... if you're American, just know that swim suits are not only optional, they are prohibited in the saunas and adult pools. Anything relaxing you want to do will have to be done naked.

That said. It was an awesome day, very relaxing. And helped me face my fears of being naked.

Definitely use the body scrub when you go into the steam room, it left my skin very soft!

Went in late June 2019 with 5 friends and had loads of fun. Between pools and hot tubs and slides, there's plenty of choices for all ages. Staff onsite is friendly and saunas are great. A word of caution to non-European guests, sauna areas are clothing-free. Only downside for us: the pools were across the board not chilled enough - borderline warm. Otherwise this huge thermal spa is a go-to spot when you visit Munich.

The point of a spa is to relax. But it was so overcrowded that it made relaxation impossible. There were lines to get into the saunas, no place to sit, and no available spots to lie down. It's a cool place, but just very, very over crowded.

This place is both expansive and expensive, but totally worth it (especially to make a day of it and pretend you're in the tropics instead of wintery Bavaria). The website advertises *36* acres of water park. There are also several sections that you can pay extra for. The general admission area is very large though, so you can easily enjoy yourself on that.

You pay extra for: the nude sauna area (there are clothed saunas available in the general area) or the adult-only area (no kids splashing around!) which includes one pool, some mineral baths and a clothed sauna.

The wristband keys given at the entrance are coded to what you've prepaid, and you pay for drinks or food by tagging the band and paying on your way out. I loved that they had a couple of bars poolside-- expensive, but nice not to have to leave the water.

We went on a cold, rainy afternoon in November, so most of the outdoor features were closed, but the outdoor pools attached to the indoors were still available. I couldn't believe how far out one of them extended-- felt like a half mile!

We had my young cousin with us, who wanted to play in both the wave pool (self-explanatory) and the Galaxy area (waterslides). I admit they packed a lot into a narrow and tall space! Seven stories to the top. There's varying minimum ages posted at the entry to each slide to indicate how terrifying/appropriate they may be for riders. Cousin's favorite was the Speed Racer, where you race down parallel slides to see who gets to the bottom first. Despite being indoors and fighting the sugared up teenagers up the stairs, this was quite fun, though hard on my aging knees after a few runs.

Regulars buy season passes. Hotel guests appear to have free rein over much of the park. There's also a decently sized shopping area if you forgot swim trunks or want new flip-flops, and if you want to get some organized exercise in, we saw a couple aqua-aerobics classes in different pools lead by an instructor from the staff.

Pro-tip: some slippery floors, so walk slowly. And don't bother drying off between pools (just get back in if you're cold!). You'll just soak your towel and by the end you won't be able to get fully dry.

Nothing to complain about, had a perfect time here having fun in the slides or chilling in the Oasis area. The only negative is they didn't have any vegan options for lunch so I had to stick with fries and salad.

Perfect place to escape the winter. This establishment is massive with all sorts of pools/saunas. I've traveled all over the world and have tried various bath houses and this place has become one of my annual traditions. A must visit!!

I adored this place and spent an entire day there. I never left the textile free adults area so I cannot speak to the rest of the establishment, but this part was great. I booked a massage. It was overpriced a little bit, but it was nice. I did not try any food, but bought several drinks from the swim up bar.

I never felt embarrassed about not wearing a swimsuit, everyone else is naked too. You just disrobe in the changing area and get going. The baths and saunas were great. I did not notice anything out of place going on, but couples did enjoy being together with kissing, etc.

I only wish that someone visited with me. I will be back, but don't know when.
