Erlebnisbad Aquaria

Erlebnisbad Aquaria lies in Oberstaufen in the Allgäu and is run by Aquaria Erlebnisbad-Betriebs GmbH at Alpenstraße 5, D-87534 Oberstaufen. The house combines a leisure bath, a sauna landscape and a massage department with a restaurant, and looks out on the Allgäu Alps. Its water is ordinary heated pool water, not thermal, mineral or brine water. The outdoor pool named Allgäuer Onsen carries a Japanese bathing term as a name, not as a claim about the water's origin. The operator publishes no opening year.

The operator gives the bathing area as 1,200 m² and lists the pools with their temperatures. The swimmers' pool is 30 °C with four 25-metre lanes, one lane fenced off for training, starting blocks with a water depth of 1.80 m in the diving zone and a swim-coach clock. The indoor warm-water pool is 32.5 °C with underwater loungers, air-bubble benches, massage jets and bubbling seats. The Allgäuer Onsen outdoors is 38.5 °C with massage jets and a view of the mountains, and a further outdoor pool is 32.5 °C with underwater loungers, a gymnastics bar and neck showers. A white-water whirl pool with a current is listed separately. Two children's pools are given: the outdoor one at 31.5 °C, 20 to 35 cm deep with a water playground and slide, open only in the summer months, and the indoor one at 33.5 °C, 10 to 45 cm deep with a children's slide, water mushroom and spray cannons. The operator also sums up its water temperatures as 30–34 °C, which leaves out the 38.5 °C of the Allgäuer Onsen and the 34.5 °C of the sauna whirlpools.

The action attractions are a 100-metre enclosed tube slide with timing and changing light effects, and a diving tower with 3-metre and 5-metre platforms where the landing is softened by a bubbler. In summer a large lawn with a playground surrounds the outdoor pools and a sun terrace with loungers adjoins the Allgäuer Onsen.

The sauna landscape is split between an adults-only outdoor area and an indoor area. Outdoors are three large cabins with daily Aufguss: the Gipfelsauna at 95 °C, the Panoramasauna at 85 °C and the Felsensauna at 75 °C, each at 5–10 % humidity rising to 30–40 % during an Aufguss, with recommended stays of 10–15 minutes (15–20 in the Felsensauna), plus panorama rest rooms and a separate plunge pool. Indoors are the Allgäuer Dampfbad at 40–45 °C and 90–100 % humidity, with a salt scrub sold at the sauna bar, the Zirbensauna, a dry stone-pine cabin at 90 °C, and a Bio Sauna at 60 °C with music and 60–65 % humidity. A separate women's area repeats three of these types, an Alt-Finnische Sauna at 90 °C, a Bio Sauna at 60 °C and the Allgäuer Dampfbad at 40–45 °C. There are also a Physiotherm infrared cabin, two hot whirlpools at 34.5 °C, two sauna bars and rest rooms with floating loungers. The sauna area is textile-free, and children up to 15 may use the indoor sauna only accompanied by an adult and only until 19:00.

The bath is open daily from 9:00 to 22:00.
