Europabad Karlsruhe

It combines an adventure pool with a children's world (KAi der Hai) and a tower of nine water slides, including the Sky Surfer and Green Viper. Alongside is a sauna landscape with nine saunas and steam baths, from the medieval Excalibur and the hot Arena to the alpine Schwyzhuus, plus cold features and a sauna garden.

The nine saunas range from the herb-infused Druiden (50C) and steam bath (45C) up to the Arena at around 100C. For cooling there is a plunge pool, a 16C cold pool, the outdoor 32.5C Geysirbecken and the themed Ice Lounge cold experience with ice-effect acrylic elements and nature screens.

For the adventure pool, an adult day pass is about 22 euro on weekdays and up to 26 euro on weekends and holidays, with 2-hour and 4-hour tickets available too. A combined adventure pool plus sauna day pass costs roughly 30 to 34 euro. Please check the website for current rates.

Europabad Karlsruhe is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 23:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 to 21:00. Note that ticket sales close 60 minutes before the pool closes.

It is at Hermann-Veit-Strasse 5, 76135 Karlsruhe, in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
