About Emser Therme

The temperature at the source has been recorded at 135°F (57°C). That puts it in the "too hot to enter at the source" range. Water this hot can burn skin quickly. Soaking pools are usually cooled by mixing with creek or tap water. Never enter the source itself. At developed sites the soaking pools are normally cooled to a comfortable level, so the pools you sit in will be cooler than this figure.
