A short holiday at the KissSalis thermal spa in Bad Kissingen

Just imagine: The water at the KissSalis thermal spa contains twelve times as many minerals as the minimum requirements for medicinal wells in Germany. The aim is to alleviate physical complaints. This is why its name is made up of the syllables of the old Latin phrase "In Aquis Kissingen salus" - which means "In the waters of Kissingen is health".

Fun in the indoor and outdoor areas of the KissSalis thermal spa

There are several indoor and outdoor pools available to visitors. In addition to a large indoor pool, there are whirlpools, a hot pool, an intensive brine pool with six per cent salt content, a Kneipp treading pool and a children's paddling pool. The water temperature is always between a pleasant 32 and 38 degrees. You can cool off in the 18-degree cold pool.

But that's not all the spa has to offer. The spa is divided into four areas and the thermal bath itself is just one of them. For a small surcharge, you can also use the FitnessArena on the upper floor, where you can train on the treadmill with a fantastic view of the water landscape below through the panoramic front.

Pure relaxation: the SaunaPark at KissSalis Therme

If you prefer to sweat without exercising, the best place to go is the SaunaPark. In the indoor area alone, there are five different sauna rooms - from the rather mild aroma steam bath (45 degrees) to the 90-degree birch sauna. There's something for every guest. If you want even more choice, there are five more saunas to heat up in the outdoor area. A special highlight: the 90-degree earth sauna. It is fuelled by thick logs. It feels a bit like camping around a campfire.

Individual relaxation options in the relaxation area

The varied infusion programme provides variety. Do you prefer to sweat with the scent of menthol in your nose or do you prefer the "fruit magic"? There are different infusions every day.

Afterwards you can relax in the relaxation area. Or perhaps you need a little refreshment first? The sauna bar is sure to have the right thirst quencher or snack for in between.

Feel good in the WellnessPavilion at KissSalis Therme

The fourth area is the wellness pavilion. Guests can choose from a variety of massage, beauty and wellness treatments and book the desired treatment for an additional charge: How about an aromatic oil massage, for example, where a pair of experienced hands massages precious oils into the skin? Alternatively, you can use the mud room. Here you apply the hot natural mud to your skin yourself. Then lie down on the stone bench under the infrared light and let the mud do the rest of the work. The gentle background music also helps you to relax and unwind. You only have one task left: close your eyes and breathe deeply! An overview of the range of offers, prices and online booking can be found here.

The children's paradise at KissSalis Therme

So that you can really switch off, there is also the children's paradise. While you float in the water or doze on the massage lounger, children up to the age of 12 are looked after by specialised staff. The children's paradise is free of charge for spa visitors.

Royal dining experience after your wellness day in the Kurgarten Café

How about a little refreshment before you head back home? After such a relaxing afternoon of wellness, your stomach also wants to be spoilt. Just a 19-minute walk from the thermal baths, on the other side of the park, is the Regentenbau. The magnificent neo-baroque building is the town's landmark and is home to a concert hall and the Kurgarten Café. Here you can dine as the aristocracy once did - in a festive hall with white columns and magnificent chandeliers. On fine days, the terrace is open and you have a marvellous view of the Kurgarten.

How to get to the KissSalis-Therme

From Bad Kissingen railway station it is 1.4 kilometres to the destination, i.e. just under 18 minutes on foot. Leave the station via the main exit in the direction of Bahnhofstraße. Cross Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and then turn left onto Kurhausstraße. At the next opportunity, turn right into Luitpoldpark. A small footpath leads you first past the tennis courts on your right and then along the trees at the edge of the park on your left. Walk along the path. Cross the Fränkische Saale river on a small bridge to reach Bismarckstraße, which you also cross. Keep the trees of the park on your left and the buildings of the MEDIAN Frankenpark Klinik on your right until you reach the end of the park after about 300 metres. Turn left here. The path leads you over another bridge over the Westring and directly to your destination, the KissSalis-Therme.
