Experience Pure Relaxation at Jod-Sole-Therme - Bad Bevensen
Situated in the spa park of Bad Bevensen, the Jod-Sole-Therme is one of the largest thermal spas in northern Germany, covering nearly 12,000 square meters. The architecture blends modern spa design with the natural greenery of the surrounding park, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The water source is the real star here: two boreholes reaching 661 and 700 meters deep tap into Eocene-era aquifers, producing a 10.3% to 11.7% brine solution. This natural Heilwasser is officially recognized as a therapeutic spring and contains 3.1 to 7.0 mg/l of iodide, along with significant bromine, iron, and trace minerals. The water temperature ranges from 32°C in the outdoor pools to 35°C in the indoor health pool.
The main attraction is over 1,200 square meters of water surface split across five pools. Outside, two brine pools (32°C, 3% salinity) offer 925 square meters of open-air swimming with neck showers, floor bubble jets, and a current channel. Inside, the Vitalbecken (32°C) and Gesundheitsbecken (35°C) provide more than 75 water features, including whirlpools, massage jets, and bubble loungers. The signature SOLE & SALZWelt is a brine experience room built on stilts, featuring a 70°C sanarium, a salt sauna, a panoramic relaxation room with park views, and a cozy fireplace corner with small graduation works. The sauna landscape also includes a herbal sauna (75°C), three log cabin saunas (80, 90, and 100°C), and a second sanarium. The Spa & Vital Center offers treatments like soap foam massages, hot stone therapy, Ayurveda, a floating bath in strong brine, and a Rasul healing earth bath.
Jod-Sole-Therme appeals equally to day-trippers and wellness vacationers. Local hotels partner through the THERMEplus program, offering free daily entry for overnight guests. The best times to visit are weekday mornings for quiet swimming or late afternoons for sunset in the outdoor pools. What makes this place special is the raw power of its iodine brine: a state-recognized healing water that genuinely supports respiratory health, rheumatic conditions, and post-operative recovery. At €13.50 for 120 minutes of bathing, it’s also remarkably affordable for the quality and scale on offer.

Health Benefits and Indications of Visiting Jod-Sole-Therme - Bad Bevensen
The Jod-Sole-Therme’s water is officially recognised as a Heilquelle (healing spring), drawing from two boreholes reaching 661 and 700 metres deep. The 10.3% to 11.7% brine is rich in iodine (up to 7.0 mg/l), bromide (94 mg/l), and iron (13 mg/l). This mineral composition supports a range of therapeutic benefits. The water is specifically cited for its positive effects on rheumatic and circulatory complaints, as well as respiratory diseases. The finely dripping brine in the SOLE & SALZWelt’s graduation works acts as a refreshment for bronchial tubes and lungs. Bathing in the iodine brine also benefits the psyche, making it a holistic health experience. The Spa & Vital Centre complements the water with treatments like the Rasul healing earth bath and floating bath, which use the brine and nutrient-rich healing earth for additional therapeutic effect.
