I was recently on a tour of Austria, German and Switzerland, when we got to the Black Forest, the…read moreweather was not cooperating, we had been touring and the weather had been hot and since I've still been having issues with my back and knee and since I heard the area was well known for it's thermal baths, I asked about Badeparadies and OMG!! it was awesome, it was only a half mile walk from our hotel Bruggers and when we got there I wanted to cry, the lines were so long it didn't look like we would get in, an announcement had been made in German that they couldn't allow anyone in until some people exited the park, my roommate asked one of the cashiers and she asked if we had kids, which we didn't and she told us we could come into the Palm area, you get a cool wrist band which is electronic, and on it is the locker number, with the band you can lock and unlock your locker, very SECRET SERVICE MAN, LOL...once we changed we into our suits we stepped into NIRVANA..again, OMG...you walk into what looks like a giant green house with beautiful palm trees and orchids planted throughout, it was so beautiful, you could see the sky (cloudy and rainy as it was and in the upper 50's!) and at the end of the 'green house' was a revolving door in the water where you could swim to the outside steaming pool and Jacuzzi, I thought I'd freeze going out there but OMG..it felt so good, once I stepped into the pool I swear you could hear my big sigh of pleasure and relief all the way to the states!! The water was warm and it was fresh water...sitting in the Jacuzzi and swirling waters felt wonderful to my sore battered tourist body...it was 16 Euros for an hour and a half and it was sufficient, any time over 15 minutes was an additional Euro (and well worth it, LOL) once we got back to the hotel we found out that free entry was included with the City Card we had received so roomie and I headed off the following night once again, we got there around 8 and stayed until they closed, different crowd and much less crowded. There is a swim up bar and you can use that cool wrist bracelet to pay for your drinks, you cash out once you are leaving the facility. I wholeheartedly recommend it. The Galaxie park is a water park and that was the one with the lines out the door, and there is another section called Wellness with saunas and the like, you can get a combo ticket and oh yeah, the Wellness park is 'textile free', they are currently adding on to the facility, definitely a place to relax on your trip to the Lake Titisee area!
