Kristall Palm Beach

It combines an Erlebnisbad with a wave pool, 15 water slides, whirlpools, and a Kinderland; the Kristall Therme with mineral-rich healing water, the 34°C Alpensee, and the Kleopatra floating pool; and an FKK sauna world with more than a dozen themed saunas plus rest rooms, a Gradierwerk, and massage treatments.

An adult day pass for the water park and thermal spa is 33.50 euros, or 37.00 euros including the sauna. Two-hour and four-hour tickets are cheaper, and children (4 to 15) and groups pay reduced rates. Early swimmers pay 5.50 euros for Frühschwimmen (Wed to Sat, 8 to 10 a.m.).

Kristall Palm Beach opens daily from 9:00 a.m. Sunday to Thursday it closes at 22:00, and on Friday and Saturday it stays open until midnight. Sauna hours can differ from the general bathing times, so check the current schedule before you go.

Yes. The entire sauna world is an FKK zone where swimwear is expressly forbidden in the saunas, though covering yourself with a towel is fine. The water park and thermal pools outside the sauna area are used in swimwear as usual.

It is at Albertus-Magnus-Straße 29, 90547 Stein bei Nürnberg, just outside Nuremberg in Bavaria.
