Moor Therme

Moor Therme is a bathing, sauna and health complex in Geestland (Bad Bederkesa), Lower Saxony. It is built around two natural remedies the site describes in detail: a warm brine (Sole) pool and therapeutic peat baths using moor extracted from the nearby Ahlenmoor. The facility groups its offer into three areas — bathing ("Moor Baden"), health ("Moor Gesundheit") and sauna ("Moor Sauna") — and includes an on-site restaurant.

Pools and bathing

The bathing area lists a sports pool (Sportbecken), a leisure pool (Erlebnisbecken), the brine pool (Solebecken), an activity pool (Aktivbecken) and a children's paddling pool (Kinderplanschbecken), together with a water slide, whirlpools and a Splash Park. According to the site, the Solebecken is kept at roughly 32 °C in both its indoor and outdoor sections and has a salt content of about 2%.

Brine (Sole) water

The site states that the mineral-rich brine water is beneficial for respiratory and skin conditions, rheumatic and joint diseases, low blood pressure and susceptibility to infection. It advises that, because of the salt concentration, bathing sessions should not exceed 20 minutes, that people with heart conditions should consult their doctor first, and that children under four should not use the pool.

Moor (peat) cures

The moor used for treatments is described as coming from the Ahlenmoor, about six kilometres away, where the facility extracts it from its own licensed areas. The harvested moor is mixed with clear water and used in hygienic stainless-steel baths, offered as individual moor baths and ambulatory spa applications. The site says the baths are held at a "comfort temperature" of about 42 °C and that a full moor-bath treatment, including rest afterwards, takes about an hour.

Health indications

For the moor cure the site lists indications including gynaecological conditions, rheumatic diseases, disorders of the musculoskeletal system, nervous-system disorders, bone and joint conditions such as osteoporosis, and chronic prostate and functional male genital disorders. It also names contraindications — among them cardiovascular insufficiency, fever, open wounds, acute inflammation, allergic predisposition and pregnancy.

Sauna

The sauna area comprises several saunas: the Suuri Sauna, a Finnish log cabin by the lake, a Celtic sauna (Keltensauna), a forest sauna (Waldsauna), a steam bath (Dampfbad), a rest house (Levätä Haus) and a sauna outdoor pool (Saunaäußenbecken).

Wellness and health services

Wellness offerings listed include relaxation baths, wellness massages, moor applications and pampering packages that already include facility admission. Under health services the site lists physiotherapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation sport and functional training, and health courses.

Gastronomy

The on-site "AquaMoor" bistro, café and restaurant offers à la carte dishes, buffets and space for family celebrations.
