About
Kristall Rheinpark-Therme is a thermal and sauna complex in Bad Hönningen right on the Rhine bank, built in a Venetian style according to the operator. It has indoor and outdoor pools with thermal brine (up to 35 °C and 1.5% salt, per the operator), whirlpools and, as the site states, 1,000 m² of water surface.
The sauna world has six themed saunas (55–95 °C), two steam baths (45 °C) and an Ottoman hamam, and in the garden by the Rhine stand two saunas shaped like Venetian gondolas. The operator's campsite adjoins the complex. The site shows admission prices only as images, so they cannot be listed here.
