Juramar

The Juramar is the municipal leisure and family bath of the town of Pottenstein in Franconian Switzerland, at Am Kurzentrum 4. The town calls it Familienbad Juramar or Freizeit- und Familienbad "Juramar". The operator states that the water is run without chlorine gas and with pure natural brine (Natursole); it publishes no spring temperature, well depth or mineral content and makes no thermal-spring claim.

The operator describes the indoor bath as having six areas: a swimmers' pool, a fun pool, a baby pool, the outdoor pool, a steam bath and a textile sauna inside the swimming-hall area. The swimmers' pool has a lane length of 18 metres and is also used for swimming courses and water gymnastics; every Wednesday is a warm bathing day, on which the water in the swimmers' pool is at 31 °C. The fun pool has a bubble corner, a water mushroom and a bridge running across the basin, and the stairs up to the 53-metre outdoor slide start in this area. The baby pool has a small baby slide and a bubbling ball. The outdoor pool serves as the landing basin for the slide and is fitted with a cascade shower. The steam bath and the textile sauna sit within the bathing area, so they are used on a normal swimming ticket rather than a sauna ticket.

The sauna area is separate and has indoor and outdoor parts: an outdoor sauna looking towards the thousand-year-old castle, a sauna garden and roof terrace, an indoor sauna at 90 °C with a salt crystal wall, an indoor sauna and sanarium at 60 °C, an indoor rest area and a bistro corner. The operator notes that because of staffing it cannot currently guarantee that attendant-led infusions take place, but an automatic infusion system provides hourly infusions.

During school term the bath opens Tuesday to Friday 13:00–20:00 and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 13:00–19:00; in Bavarian school holidays Tuesday to Friday opening moves to 10:00. Mondays are closed in the sauna, which opens 13:00–20:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, 13:00–21:00 on Wednesday and Friday and 13:00–19:00 at weekends and on public holidays. The bath is closed on New Year's Day, 6 January, Easter Sunday, Whit Sunday, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
