A visit to the "Thüringentherme" a health spa and sport facility in Mühlhausen, Thuringia
Part 2
We were aware that we had only limited time available for our visit of the "Thüringentherme" in Mühlhausen. Because of the beautiful weather, we decided to spend the remaining time in the pool area and not in the sauna which has a very good reputation.
To enter the outside facilities we used the indoor pool which allows under any climatic conditions to access the outdoor part of it. This is great fun especially in winter.
It was a beautiful designed area which provided privacy. It was very quiet and the air was clean. With a convenient location of the spa close to downtown we did not expect outdoor facilities which can compete with those of a spa in the country side.
But we loved it and we met a nice lady who told us many things how life changed in Mühlhausen after the unification of Germany. It was very interesting. Unfortunately she had to leave because her paid time for using the spa was over.
At certain tomes the jets will start in the round pool and give you a nice massage of your back, your neck or wherever you need it. Avoid to use it on your belly!
The "bridge" is not intended to walk on. You should use it for exercises to strengthen your arm muscles by pulling you up. If you fall down, the water will not hurt you!
There are two outdoor whirlpools. We had our talk with the lady from Mühlhausen in the bubbling hot water. As you see Elizabeth is having fun in it. Her back pain was almost gone before we went back to Canada.
No spa with a "Strömungskanal" where at certain times strong water jets challenge you to try to swim against the strong current. Most people quit and just float around and around until the jet stops..
No question that Elizabeth used also the water slide. She became almost a teenager again what makes me very happy.
But she also relaxed in the sun reading one of her books. I stayed in the water not to get sun burned or walked around.
I did not want to go alone in the sauna area where different kinds of saunas are installed. If you do not want to share the sauna with the opposite gender contact the spa. Certain times are reserved for women only. Ask also for the extensive program which are being offered.
We had another appointment in Mühlhausen and had to leave. Whenever we come back to this historic town with so many attractions we will stay for a few days. There is so much to see and explore in the "Unstrut-Hainich Region" that it makes good sense to do so instead of driving every day for and back to my son's house in Suhl.
With the limited time we had at our first visit to the "Thüringentherme" and the beautiful sunshine, we did not visit the sauna area which was very much recommended to us.
We normally would not take any cameras to this part of any spa because the dress code is "no bathing suit at all, just nude". For that reason many thanks for the pictures to the spa.
I believe that in winter at freezing temperatures it will be a very unique experience to go in an outdoor sauna! I know this is practised in Finland but I never tried that.
