Felsland Badeparadies & Saunawelt

Felsland Badeparadies & Saunawelt stands at Eybergstr. 1 in 66994 Dahn, inside the Palatinate Forest biosphere reserve, reached from the B10 via Hinterweidenthal. It is run as two separate halves: a family bathing paradise and a sauna world.

The operator describes the bathing hall only in general terms, as a bath with numerous well-tempered swimming and bathing pools, a giant slide and many water attractions, open summer and winter, with water gymnastics Monday to Friday at 9:30. The operator publishes no pool count, pool sizes, water temperatures or slide length. The water is ordinary heated pool water. The operator mentions no thermal spring, borehole, water analysis or brine pool; the only brine on the premises is Himalayan brine-salt rock used on the stove of the Panorama sauna for infusions.

The sauna world covers more than 8,000 m² and is split between a Finnish sauna village set in a birch wood and a classic indoor sauna landscape. In the village stand a large Finnish sauna house built from up to 300-year-old Kelo trunks, where the ceiling temperature is 100 °C and the whole building forms one single sauna; a hexagonal Kelo Panorama sauna with a continuous window front at around 85 °C; the Biothermium, an underground brick and clay-plaster vault where guests lie directly on heated stones rather than in heated air, so the operator explicitly states it is not a sauna in the conventional sense; a large rest house; a natural bathing area; a water house with foot pools, experience showers and Kneipp hoses indoors and out; and a rock shower. The freestanding Kräuterhaus herb cabin runs at 75–85 °C, with fresh herbs brewed in a large copper bowl over the stove.

The indoor sauna area holds the Kristallsauna, whose massive column stove is filled with 400 kg of Finnish deep rock and lit by Himalayan salt crystals, with walls and ceiling of Weymouth pine and lime benches; a Sanarium® run at 58 °C with raised humidity, coloured light and aromatised steam bursts; and two steam baths — a round herb steam bath under a starry ceiling holding about ten guests, and a flower steam bath with five heated individual seats. Also indoors are a rest room where talking is allowed, an ice bear dispensing ice chips, experience showers, a cold-water cooling area, a balcony, foot-warming pools and a fireside restaurant. The operator gives that restaurant two names, "Avocado" and "Laai Kanok Paradies". The operator states that the sauna world has been awarded the German Sauna Association's highest Premium quality rating for the fifth time.

The bath is open Monday to Saturday 09:00–21:00 and Sunday and public holidays 09:00–20:00; the sauna Monday to Saturday 10:00–22:00 and Sunday and holidays 10:00–20:00, with Monday reserved as a women-only sauna except on public holidays, when it is mixed. Tills close at 20:00 Monday to Saturday and 18:30 on Sundays and holidays. A camper-van pitch is also operated on the site.
