Europabad

Europabad Karlsruhe is a year-round indoor leisure bath with an outdoor section, run by Karlsruher Bädergesellschaft mbH as part of the municipal Karlsruher Bäder group. The operator dates the bath to its opening on 15 March 2008 and gives a total area of more than 5,000 m², open on 364 days of the year.

The bathing hall is organised around a slide tower. The operator lists eight slides with their lengths: the Aqua Rocket free-fall slide (14 m of free fall, from age 12), the Breitrutsche wide slide (10 m), Green Viper (120 m, from age 8), the KAi – der Hai children's slide (13 m, ages 4 to 12), the Reifenrutsche tyre slide (170 m), the Sky Surfer stand-up slide (61 m, from age 12 and 1.40 m tall), Tarantula (111 m, from age 8) and the Wildwasserfluss white-water run (100 m, from age 10 and 1.35 m tall). Elsewhere the operator advertises nine slides ("9 Rutschen").

The operator lists the pools individually with their temperatures. The Erlebnisbecken adventure pool with its current channel and bubbling massage loungers runs at 32 °C, the KAi – der Hai children's world at 32.5 °C, the 25-metre swimmers' pool at 28 °C, the non-swimmers' pool at 32 °C and the outdoor pool at 32.5 °C. A steam bath in the bathing area is held at 45 °C, and a NinjaCross water obstacle course is listed as a new attraction. The water is ordinary heated pool water: the operator mentions no thermal water, spring, borehole or brine.

The sauna world lists themed cabins with their temperatures and capacities: Arena Sauna at 100 °C from October to March and 90 °C from April to September (40 places), a steam bath at 45 °C (20), Druiden Sauna at 50 °C (20), Excalibur Sauna at 80 °C (50), the Finnische Sauna at 80 °C (40), Kalevala Sauna at 75 °C (80), Schwyzhuus at 85 °C (80) and the bookable Vihta ritual sauna at a flexible temperature (10). Alongside them are an Ice Lounge, a plunge pool, a foot bath, a Raum der Stille, a sleeping house with heated water beds at 26 °C, a winter garden, a sauna garden and terrace, a geyser pool at 32.5 °C and cold and warm pools at 16 °C and 34 °C.

The bath and sauna are open Monday to Saturday 10:00–23:00 and Sunday 10:00–21:00, holidays included, with tills closing 60 minutes and bathing 30 minutes before the bath closes; the slide tower and individual saunas have their own shorter hours. Once a year the whole bath closes for its annual overhaul.
