About Palais Thermal
Palais Thermal is a developed hot spring pool in Germany, on the edge of Bad Wildbad. The nearest large city is Gaggenau, roughly 11 miles away as the crow flies.
The temperature at the source has been recorded at 106°F (41°C), and readings across the site range from 93°F to 106°F. That puts it in the "very hot" range. Hotter than a hot tub. Enter slowly, keep soaks short and get out if you feel dizzy. 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.
This is a developed site with built pools, tubs or a bathhouse, so there is usually an entry fee, set opening hours and basic facilities.
