About
Südpfalz Therme is a thermal spa in Bad Bergzabern in the Palatinate. According to the operator it uses healing water from the Petronella springs, drawn from a depth of 450 m, and the pools are kept at 32 °C. There is an indoor pool with a mirrored ceiling, an outdoor pool with bubble loungers, an active pool, a salt grotto and the Taosensa barefoot path.
According to the operator the sauna world covers over 1,500 m² with five themed saunas, a steam bath with peeling treatments, a cooling area with an ice fountain and a roof garden, described as one of the largest sauna roof gardens in Germany. The whole sauna area is textile-free; on Tuesdays the sauna is for women only all day.
