Experience Pure Relaxation at Fürthermare Water Park
Located in Fürth, just northwest of Nuremberg, the Fürthermare sits in the green corridor of the Rednitz valley, easily reachable from the entire metropolitan region. This modern thermal bath complex brings together a fun pool, a dedicated thermal spa, a Majorca-inspired sauna village, and a fitness club under one roof. The real star here is the water. The house’s own Kleeblattquelle draws mineral-rich thermal water from over 400 meters deep in Franconian Jura rock. With a total mineralization of 8.97 grams per liter — nearly nine times the minimum required to qualify as a mineral spring — this fluoridated sodium-calcium-chloride-sulfate thermal water is officially recognized as a natural healing water.
The thermal landscape centers around a series of pools designed for different needs. Two cascade pools at 33°C offer massage jets and neck showers, while the 37°C warm pool with seat jets targets deep muscle relaxation. A 70m² movement pool invites gentle exercise, and the 157m² outdoor thermal pool stays at 32°C year-round, letting you soak under open sky even in winter. A dedicated brine grotto holds 10% natural salt water at 34°C. The sauna area features 12 different cabins including the panoramic Casa Bella Vista and the salt-infused Casa Salina, plus regular Räucherrituale (smudging ceremonies) for a traditional aromatic experience. The wellness philosophy is straightforward: the thermal water is clinically recognized for treating rheumatic conditions and orthopedic issues, making this as much a health facility as a relaxation destination.
The Fürthermare positions itself as a multi-generational bath, and it delivers on that promise. Families head for the pirate-themed water play area, slide tower, and special mermaiding events for kids. Adults and seniors find their space in the thermal pools and quiet zones. The best times to visit are weekday mornings when the water gymnastics sessions run for free, or during the summer when your ticket includes direct access to the adjoining outdoor pool. What sets this place apart is the combination of genuine healing water — a rarity for a facility that also caters to families — and the Mediterranean sauna garden that feels a world away from Franconian winter. It’s a proper short escape from daily life, no travel to the coast required.

Health Benefits and Indications of Visiting Fürthermare Water Park
The Fürthermare’s thermal water comes from the Kleeblattquelle, a natural spring that pumps fluoridated sodium-calcium-chloride-sulfate thermal water from over 400 meters deep in Franconian Jura rock. With 8.97 grams of dissolved minerals per liter, this is officially classified as a natural healing water. The high mineral content delivers proven therapeutic benefits for rheumatic disorders and orthopedic conditions.
The water’s composition is dominated by sodium, calcium, chloride, and sulfate ions. These minerals, combined with the warmth of the thermal pools (ranging from 32°C to 37°C), help relieve joint pain, ease muscle tension, and support circulation. The warm water also promotes relaxation and can improve sleep quality after a visit.
A standout feature is the Mineral-Solegrotte, a brine pool with 10% natural salt concentration. Here you can float effortlessly, similar to the Dead Sea, while soft underwater music and colored light projections deepen the relaxation. The brine’s density takes pressure off joints and the skin benefits from the mineral-rich salt solution. The adjacent Soledampfbad (brine steam bath) offers additional respiratory support by inhaling fine salt particles.
For active recovery, the thermal Bewegungsbecken (33°C) provides a joint-friendly environment for gentle exercise, aqua fitness, or the free Wassergymnastik (water aerobics) sessions offered on weekdays. This makes it especially suitable for post-operative rehabilitation or for those managing chronic orthopedic conditions.
