Thermal baths at any time of the year

Why a visit to the Keidel Therme is worthwhile at any time of the year

Each season places different demands on body and mind. Sometimes the focus is on regeneration after sporting activity, sometimes the desire for relaxation, warmth or a conscious break from everyday life. This is exactly where the Keidel Therme is particularly strong: Our thermal spa and sauna area offers ideal conditions at any time of the year to recharge your batteries, do something good for yourself and focus on your own well-being. Each season has its own advantages.

Spring: New energy for an active start

When nature awakens and the days get longer again, a time of departure begins for many people. After the winter months, the desire for new energy, more exercise and a fresh start to the active season grows.

For all those who want to use spring for more exercise, our aqua fitness courses offer a joint-friendly introduction to a more active life. The natural buoyancy of the water relieves muscles, tendons and joints, while strength, endurance and flexibility are specifically trained. If you focus more on relaxation, Aqua Relax is a gentle combination of water, mindfulness and conscious body awareness that helps to release tension and gather new energy.

On the green lawn stands a rustic wooden bird feeder, in the background a modern glass building and terrace chairs can be seen under a bright blue sky.

Set in a grassy lawn are curved wooden lounge chairs with red umbrellas, surrounded by trees on a sunny day.

The combination of exercise and relaxation is therefore the perfect mix for a fresh start to a new year. Health experts also emphasize the positive effects of regular rest on body and psyche. The AOK points out that sauna visits can promote general well-being and that many people perceive the regular periods of warmth and rest as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Summer: Relaxation instead of heat stress

When the temperatures rise, many people are drawn to bathing lakes or to the outdoor pool. But especially on hot summer days, these places often become the scene of long searches for parking spaces, overcrowded sunbathing lawns and hectic hustle and bustle. If you are looking for peace, relaxation and cooling off instead, you will find a relaxed alternative in the Keidel Therme.

Located in the middle of Freiburg’s Mooswald , the Keidel Therme is a green oasis far away from the hustle and bustle of summer. The location close to nature provides a pleasantly relaxing ambience, especially on hot days, and is appreciated by many guests as a welcome retreat from the heated city centre. Instead of overcrowded sunbathing lawns and a lively outdoor pool atmosphere, our guests can expect spacious outdoor areas, relaxed sunbathing areas under old trees and an ambience that focuses on relaxation and well-being.

On a sunny terrace, a tall palm tree stands between deck chairs and umbrellas, while bright sunshine and a bright blue sky can be seen above it.

The variety of our cooling offers is particularly evident in the warm season. Whether it’s Kneipp therapy in the outdoor area, in the 15 °C cool plunge pool of our sauna area or a refreshing dip in the natural bathing lake – everyone will find their personal form of refreshment here. Especially in the summer months, our Kneipp courses and the offer “Cold kick according to Kneipp” are very popular. Participants consciously experience the effect of cold stimuli and water applications, which can activate the circulation and provide a refreshing body feeling. In addition, our course “Ice Bathing & Breathwork” combines targeted breathing techniques with controlled cold stimuli. Many participants take advantage of the offer to train the conscious handling of stress and to further develop their mental strength.

Mental regeneration is also becoming increasingly important in the summer months. Many people are consciously looking for ways to distance themselves from permanent digital accessibility and everyday stress. Offers such as “Atemlust“, Aqua Relax or our meditative sauna experiences offer valuable impulses for this.

The sauna also has its justification in summer. Taking a sauna in summer can even help the body to adapt better to high temperatures. Regular sweating also has positive effects on the immune system, the cardiovascular system and general well-being in summer.

For people who are active in sports, the Keidel Therme also offers ideal conditions for regeneration after hikes, bike tours, running sessions or other outdoor activities. Warmth, cooling and conscious rest phases create valuable moments of relaxation and make the Keidel Therme a perfect summer destination.

Autumn: Recharge your batteries for the cold season

When the temperatures drop and the days get shorter, the need for warmth and security grows in many people. It is not without reason that the most beautiful time of the year begins for many wellness and sauna fans in autumn.
The Keidel Therme offers a soothing retreat during this transitional period. The warm thermal water and our diverse sauna area create ideal conditions to leave everyday life behind and gather new energy. Especially at a time when appointments, obligations and the darker days can be increasingly stressful, conscious moments of relaxation are becoming more important.

The unique location of the Keidel Therme in the middle of Freiburg’s Mooswald is also particularly attractive in autumn. When the leaves turn bright yellow, orange and red tones, a very special atmosphere is created that invites you to take long walks before or after your visit to the thermal baths. This is the ideal way to combine a day full of relaxation with an experience of nature.

With the start of the sauna season, our meditative sauna experiences come more into focus. During singing bowl journeys, gentle sounds accompany the warmth of the sauna and create a particularly calm atmosphere. Incense journeys use natural resins for an intense experience, while the traditional Baltic Pirts ritual combines warmth, mindfulness and birch branches. The offers are aimed at all those who want to add an additional level of relaxation to their classic sauna visit.

Winter: warmth, well-being and deceleration

Hardly any season is better suited for a visit to the Keidel Therme than winter. While cold, rain or snow determine everyday life outside, our natural thermal water and the diverse sauna landscape create a soothing counterpoint. Especially in the cold season, many people long for warmth, relaxation and moments in which they can recharge their batteries.

In addition to a visit to the thermal baths and sauna, our wellness and health treatments offer the opportunity to do something good for yourself. From soothing massages to cosmetic treatments to medi stream® hydrojet massages, this creates small time-outs that focus on relaxation and well-being.

At the same time, the cold season is the perfect occasion to give the gift of relaxation. Vouchers for spa visits, wellness treatments or prepaid cards offer a special gift idea for family and friends. The range is complemented by selected products such as natural peelings, natural cosmetics, swimwear, sauna accessories and other upcycling products from the BoMo Design brand, which also make a visit to the thermal baths resonate a bit at home.

But a visit to the thermal baths or sauna is not only a blessing for your well-being. Regular sauna use can support the immune system and have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and general well-being. Many guests therefore consciously use the winter months to do something for their health and at the same time escape the stress of everyday life. The alternation between cosy warmth and the fresh winter air in the outdoor area is particularly appealing.

Advantages in winter

Soothing warmth on cold days
Support of well-being and regeneration
Positive impulses for the immune system and circulation through regular sauna use
Conscious time-outs for mental health and stress reduction

Time for mindfulness and calm in an often hectic season
