A few years ago, we discovered the fabulous therme in Erding, which led to a new hobby - seeking out the elaborate thermal spas of Germany. Turns out there are LOTS of them. We showed up on a Friday night and the place was pretty crowded, (with a strong leaning toward the 'older crowd' 70+ set) but we finally found a couple chaise lounges to call home base.
As to decor, I couldn't help but think of those children's parks built around mother goose rhymes with the intention of emulating Disney's Fantasyland but missing the mark in the first place; looking REALLY dated in the last place. The decorations were overtly tacky, ranging from huge faux chandeliers to crystal laden, sparkly mermaids. There were several pools of various temperatures, but only a couple were warm enough for us softies who really prefer WARM thermal baths. And they all felt a bit crowded even when only a few people were present. The themed saunas we looking dated as well. Experts say the aufguss program is very good here - I don't have enough experience to qualify that statement, but again, the saunas seemed small and crowded compared to other places we've visited.
Had we come here before visiting several other spas in Germany it's quite possible we would have felt differently, and the place was adequately clean, but all said, neither of us could imagine a single reason why we would return in the future, knowing there are at least three other amazing spas within a two hour drive. Glad we tried it; happy we don't have to go back!
Be aware: Sauna area is always "textile frei" - on Friday nights, that extends to the whole place!
