Pools and Saunas

Saxon Switzerland’s swimming pools and sauna facilities are a wonderful completion of outdoor activities not just on rainy days.
In Saxon Switzerland activity holidays, nature experience and spa treatments harmonize perfectly. The best proof of this is the region’s multifaceted pool and sauna scene. Well-equipped water fun facilities, spas, outdoor pools and bathing lakes as well as saunas for every taste are situated next to famous hiking and cycling trails and often in the immediate vicinity of the National Park.

The Toskana Thermal Spa directly at Bad Schandau’s Elbe riverside invites you to “immerse yourself in another world”. This other world is called Liquid Sound and means pure relaxation in a blissful bath of sounds, colours and lights. Indulge your senses while floating in complete weightlessness in warm brine water. The Toskana Thermal Spa also provides ample sauna and pool adventure facilities as well as a spa area.

Mariba, a family-friendly pool and leisure park in the town of Neustadt, promises Carribean-style water fun.

The log house sauna provides a very special steam experience with, for something completely different, garlic-scented water sprinkled on the hot sauna stones.
