This is especially great for small children, they have a wading pool with two slides and some spraying toys. The downside is that most of the features are broken. They also have a wave pool, a sort of high speed whirl pool ring, hot (warm) tub and a separate salt water pool. The real draw is the outdoor pool that shares a glass wall with a penguin enclosure. I was super entertained! The changing room is large with adequate bathroom and shower facilities. Everything is super clean and the staff is helpful. They also have a snack bar and gift shop to get a souvenir or some pool toys. There are plenty of chairs for lounging and even a few cribs if you're spending the whole day.

A day pass is € 23 but they have other options (e.g., a couple hours for € 14). The price structure, location, modern facility, and therapeutic water make the place popular. It's big and was crowded on my visit. How bizarre to travel to the countryside for that. Getting there: arrival at Vetschau train station, from Berlin; the ride took about an hour. It had been recommended to travel by train (€ 21 for a VBB all-day pass/roundtrip ticket from Alexanderplatz) to Vetschau, and then take a bus to the Spreewald Therme, but on holidays (and perhaps weekends, too) buses don't run regularly from Vetschau to the Therme...The timetable showed that the next bus stopping near Spreewald Therme wouldn't arrive for hours...Called for a taxi, which took half an hour to arrive; the ride cost € 16. Going by car, and choosing a quieter day, perhaps a weekday outside of school holidays, may allow for a better experience.

This is a really nice swim bad and sauna. Unlike other Therme Bads this place requires swim wear…read morein the main pools. The Sauna area is still no swim wear. Indoor/outdoor pools 2 large pools and two smaller hot pools. Indoor and outdoor Saunas and pools.
