About
Palais Thermal is a historic spa complex in Bad Wildbad in the northern Black Forest, directly connected to the hotel Mokni's Palais Hotel & SPA (Badhotel).

For hotel guests, entry is included in the room price. The hotel's pages say that tickets for guests without an overnight stay are offered by Palais Thermal itself on its own website, and they do not list those prices.
