The most beautiful thermal baths on Lake Constance: Your personal wellness guide
After countless visits to various thermal baths, I can tell you: Every thermal bath on Lake Constance has its own unique charm! The Bodensee Therme Überlingen, with its prices and opening hours, is my absolute favorite for a spontaneous wellness day.
Lake Constance Thermal Baths Überlingen: The jewel on the lakeshore
With a direct view of the lake, you literally swim between sky and water here. The 34°C thermal water comes from a depth of 1,000 meters and is rich in valuable minerals. My secret
Come between 8 and 10 am on a weekday – then you'll have the outdoor pools almost to yourself!
- Opening hours: Daily 9am-10pm (Friday/Saturday until 11pm)
- Admission prices: Day ticket from €19.50, children from €13.50
- Special feature: Floating pool with underwater music

💡 Pro tip: tip:The cheaper evening rate applies from 6 pm onwards!
Meersburg Thermal Baths: Small but perfectly formed
The Meersburg thermal baths may be more compact, but that makes them all the more cozy! They are especially perfect for families with small children – everything is manageable and the family-friendly thermal baths on Lake Constance with slides offer just the right mix of action and relaxation.
A day at the spa with children: How to make it relaxing for everyone
A visit to a thermal spa with the whole family? It can be heavenly or hellish – depending on how well prepared you are! After many visits with my kids, I've developed the ultimate checklist:
The perfect packing list for families
- Swim wings & goggles: Even if rental equipment is available – your own is more hygienic.
- Waterproof sunscreen: Yes, even in winter! Water reflects UV rays.
- Snacks in reusable containers: fruit, nuts, granola bars save money
- Coins for lockers: You usually need 1€ or 2€ coins.
- Kids' bathrobe: Cozy and warm for the walk between pools
Timing is everything: The best times to visit
My insider knowledge after 50+ spa visits: Avoid Saturday afternoons like the plague! The quietest times are Tuesday to Thursday mornings. If you're looking for a thermal spa on Lake Constance with direct lake access , plan your visit for sunset – magical!
Sauna and massage: Your personal wellness oasis
The sauna and massage services at Bodensee Therme Überlingen are legendary! I treat myself to a break there at least once a month and have learned a lot:
Sauna etiquette: Do's and Don'ts
- DO: Always put a large towel underneath (hygiene first!)
- DON'T: Wear swimwear in the sauna (except in the textile area)
- DO: Drink plenty of fluids – preferably water or unsweetened tea.
- DON'T: Go to the sauna immediately after eating
- DO: Use the relaxation rooms – they are worth their weight in gold!
Massage insider tips from a frequent visitor
After countless massages, I can tell you: always book at least two weeks in advance! The best therapists get booked up quickly. My favorite? The hot stone massage in winter – pure warmth that penetrates right to the soul.

Many thermal baths offer combination packages. Admission + massage is often 20% cheaper than booking separately!
Wellness weekend at Lake Constance: The perfect plan
A wellness weekend at the Lake Constance thermal baths with an overnight stay is like a mini-vacation for the soul! Here's my tried-and-tested formula for maximum relaxation:
The ideal 48-hour plan
Friday:
- 4 p.m.: Check-in at the hotel (
💡 Pro tip: Many hotels have partnerships with thermal baths!
- 5 p.m.: First visit to the thermal baths to arrive
- 7 p.m.: Light dinner (heavy food + warm water = not a good combination)
- 8:30 p.m.: Evening sauna by candlelight
Saturday:
- 8 a.m.: Early morning swim (the thermal baths are all yours!)
- 10 a.m.: Generous breakfast
- 11:30 a.m.: Massage or beauty treatment
- 2 p.m.: Lunch break with power nap
- 4 p.m.: Thermal Baths Round 2 with partner or girlfriend
- 8 p.m.: Romantic dinner on the lakeshore
Budget hacks for your wellness weekend
- Take advantage of the off-season: November and January are up to 40% cheaper.
- Package deals: 2 nights + thermal baths + half board are often cheaper than booking individually.
- Spa hotels: Direct access saves time and entrance fees
- Group discounts: Discounts are often available for groups of 4 or more.
Visiting thermal baths throughout the year: When is it worthwhile?
Every season has its own spa magic! After years of testing, here's my ultimate seasonal guide:
Spring (March-May): Blossoming and renewal
Nature is awakening, and you are with it! Take advantage of the longer days for combination trips: a morning bike tour around Lake Constance, an afternoon at the thermal baths. (Secret)
The herbal saunas are especially intense now!
Summer (June-August): Cool Down on a Hot Day
Yes, even at 30°C the thermal baths are worth a visit! The air-conditioned indoor areas are wonderfully cool, and enjoying the sunset in the outdoor pool in the evening? Priceless!
Autumn (September-November): Golden Wellness Season
My absolute favorite time of year for visiting thermal baths! The water steams in the cool air, the leaves glow golden – Instagram moments guaranteed! Plus: The tourist crowds are gone.
Winter (December-February): Hot spring meets snowflakes
The ultimate contrast: You're lying in 36°C warm water while snowflakes fall on your nose. Magical! Important: Put on a hat, otherwise your wet hair will freeze!
Your path to the perfect getaway
The Lake Constance thermal baths are so much more than just warm water – they are your personal oasis of calm , your place to breathe and recharge. Whether you need some time for yourself as a mom, want to experience an unforgettable day with the whole family, or treat yourself to a romantic wellness weekend – here you will find exactly what your soul needs.
My most important piece of advice after all these years? Plan your spa time like an important appointment. Put it in your calendar, arrange a babysitter, and pack your bag the night before. Because it's these little breaks that make us strong for everyday life. They're not a luxury – they're essential!
So, when will you treat yourself to your next spa getaway? Lake Constance is waiting for you – with warm water, expansive views, and the permission to simply be there for yourself. 💙
