Fildorado Sport- und Badezentrum

Fildorado is the municipal leisure and sports bath of Filderstadt, on the plateau south of Stuttgart, and it runs four operations under one roof: an indoor adventure bath, a sauna and spa landscape, a fitness club and a summer outdoor pool. The indoor water is divided by purpose rather than gathered into a single hall. A wave basin raises waves up to a metre high on the hour and the half hour, for ten minutes at a time. A thermal section holds an indoor and an outdoor basin at 33–34 °C, the outdoor one fitted with massage jets, air bubblers and water spouts. A sport pool of 25 by 10 metres at 27–28 °C carries the lane swimming and the aqua-fitness, aqua-cycling and aqua-jogging courses. A current channel pushes bathers through shifting flow directions, with a waterfall dropping from eight metres into the entry basin, and the children's area is held at 31–32 °C.

Three slides serve the hall. The Blackhole runs 115 metres with light effects and a transparent Cristal Tube section that leaves the rider apparently sliding in mid-air. The ski-jump slide is the house signature: eight metres high, acceleration quoted at up to 60 km/h and a flight of up to eight metres onto a purpose-built landing, with a minimum age of ten and a weight limit. A tyre slide takes single or double rings through jumps and banked curves. The operator also offers virtual-reality snorkelling and an ice column among the hall's attractions.

The sauna side covers 6,000 barrier-free m² with eight saunas: a panorama cabin panelled in wenge wood under a radiating maple ceiling, an event sauna whose infusions are staged with film on two monitors, a fireplace sauna, a gold-mine sauna dressed with rock walls, stalactites and lanterns, vital and meditation cabins, a Sanarium, and a self-contained club sauna reserved for women all day Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Three steam baths sit alongside them: a mist bath, a rasul bath and the Caldarium. Water continues through the sauna garden with a bubble pool at 33–34 °C, a 60 m² cold pool at 19–20 °C, two plunge basins at 10 °C, foot-warming tubs, a Kneipp walking basin and a crushed-ice fountain.
