As a local here in Boppelsen, I can't wait to share my home trails and this unique running-and-relaxation experience with you!
This evening is for you if...
- ...you're looking for a balanced activity that benefits body and mind.
- ...you long for real exchange and new contacts in a trusting environment.
- ...you want no performance pressure, just pure running fun.
- ...you love the flexibility to decide: relaxation with just a foot bath or a full thermal bath.
- ...you're excited about a completely carefree, organized little escape from everyday life.
What is the "Hot Spring"? Imagine a large, public "whirlpool" under the open sky, filled with natural, comfortably warm thermal water. That's the Hot Spring in Baden! It's basically a large, walkable water basin (not a swimming pool), where you can sit, stretch your legs, and enjoy the warm water. Simply explained:
- It's like a public warm water basin right in the city.
- The water comes directly from natural thermal springs deep in the earth and is always pleasantly warm (about 37-43°C).
- You can just step in (in swimwear) and sit to relax. There's also a separate basin just for feet.
- It's freely accessible to everyone and free – a meeting point for chatting and relaxing.
- For hygiene, the basin is regularly cleaned (on certain weekday mornings).
