Welldorado

Welldorado is run by the city of Wels and stands at Rosenauer Straße 70, 4600 Wels, in Upper Austria. It is a heated leisure bath: the operator names no thermal spring, mineral water, borehole or brine, and gives no source temperature or water analysis. The house does run Kneipp facilities in the sauna area, with warm and cold water applications and described stations, but these use ordinary water.

The indoor bath holds four basins, each with its own temperature. The Erlebnisbecken runs at 29 °C, carries a 40 m slide and has underwater massage benches with bubble jets. The school and sports pool is 25 m long and 314 m² in area, with six lanes, at 27 °C. The Lehrschwimmbecken, used by the Swim-Academy, runs at 29 °C, and the children's paddling pool, which has its own slide and a clown, at 30 °C. The lower floor holds the sauna, Kneipp installations, infrared cabins, solaria, a massage and cosmetics institute, a hairdresser and a restaurant. During the summer season the indoor bath opens only in bad weather, and in fine weather only until 12:00; its summer hours are Monday to Friday 09:00–21:00 and Saturday, Sunday and holidays 09:00–20:00, with bathing ending 30 minutes and the cash desk 60 minutes before closing.

The open-air bath opens in summer, daily 09:00 to 20:00, and the operator states that it has four pools: an Erlebnisbecken, a 50 m sports pool, a non-swimmers' pool 1.35 m deep with a slide, and a paddling pool with a sun sail, play stream, pond and slide. The Erlebnisbecken carries a 100 m slide and a 19 m wide slide, bubble jets and a current channel, and there is a 10 m diving tower. The family pool has barrier-free access for wheelchair users. The grounds also hold a beach volleyball court, a football pitch, a toddlers' playground for ages one to six and an adventure playground for six to fourteen.

The sauna area covers close to 2,000 m² and is split into Sauna 1, mixed daily, and Sauna 2, men only on Mondays, women only on Tuesdays and mixed from Wednesday to Sunday; the two are closed for maintenance in turn over the summer. The operator gives two different lists of cabins: three sauna chambers, two Finnish saunas, two bio-saunas, a steam room and two infrared cabins in one, and four Finnish saunas (two of them outdoors), three bio-saunas and three infrared cabins, with no steam room, in the other. Two plunge pools are held at about 15 °C, and there are warming benches with foot-warming basins.
