Bad Colberg is a tiny little village in the southern part of the Hildburghausen Region.
The first time I arrived in January 2004 at lunch time and had a good meal in a restaurant, called the "Seysingshof". When I talked to Corinna, the owner, I also asked her about the wellness center which I had discovered when I was circling through the place. She recommended a visit. Luckily I had my swim wear and a small towel in the car and I decided to follow her advise and to visit the spa.
I was still a little curious because Bad Colberg looked very deserted to me at this Friday afternoon in January and I was prepared to be alone in the facilities.
However, I told my self that I needed some exercises after trying all the Thuringian food in the "Seysingshof" I especially enjoyed the home baked pastry.
As you can see nobody was on the street. Only a lonely cat came and wanted to be paddled.

Almost all parking spots in front of the spa were taken when I arrived with my little yellow rental car. I squeezed it into a gap, grabbed my swim wear and rushed to the entrance of the health center.
The entrance fee includes the use of the sauna and depends from the time you want to spend there. I only paid for 1 1/2 hours but was told that I can pay for the difference if I stay longer. I enjoyed everything so much that I exceeded that time - but I was not charged an extra fee.
Cabins for changing the cloths are provided as well as individual lockers. If you want to use the sauna you must have at least one big towel to sit on. Please be aware that especially in Germany both genders normally share the sauna in the nude. Even children participate. This is normal and everybody behaves properly. If you have any questions ask when you buy your ticket.

Within a few minutes, I decided to stay as long as wanted and to pay the additional fee. I started to test every pool. Naturally, I could not make up my mind which one I liked the best. So I went for and back all the time. I has some small talk with the people and time as going by very fast.
Without any doubt one of my favorites was the outdoor pool with very salty hot water. I was told that this is excellent for your skin. It is recommended not to stay longer than 30 minutes in that pool. Then you should change to another one. This was not a problem because you had easy access to the main building through the water. There was no need to expose yourself to the ice cold air.

If you get hungry or thirsty, there is no need to starve. A cafeteria provides all the essentials. A week later, I came back with my son to show him what I had discovered. He loved it here too and we both enjoyed the hot outdoor pool.

Elizabeth my wife was very impressed by the variety of facilities. She tried almost everything including the sauna. The only thing she did not need was a tanning bed. She did this outside in the sun.
We both were surprised that lots of accommodation was offered around this health center and obviously also well booked.
After extensive use of the spa - we had to pay some extra money, we drove to the "Seysingshof" and what a surprise - it was crowded.
