Prienavera

PRIENAVERA is a leisure bath standing directly on the Chiemsee at Prien in Upper Bavaria, operated by Chiemsee Marina GmbH. It combines an indoor bathing hall, a warm outdoor pool on the lakeshore, a sauna world and a separate lake beach bath. The water is plain heated water: the operator claims no thermal spring, well, mineral analysis or brine bathing water. The only salt on the premises is dry: a König-Ludwig salt room built of backlit salt blocks with a brine nebuliser, and this is an air treatment, not a pool.

The operator gives a total of five pools and then lists them with their temperatures. They are an adventure pool with a current channel at 30 °C, a whirlpool with colour-light effects at 34 °C, a warm outdoor pool on the lakeshore looking across to Schloss Herrenchiemsee, a 25-metre swimmers' pool at 27 °C, and a toddlers' pool at 31 °C. The outdoor pool is listed at 33 °C, though it is twice described as a 34-degree pool. The outdoor pool has massage jets and underwater loungers and is open in summer and winter alike, with loungers set out around it in summer. The 25 m swimmers' pool has four lanes plus a fast lane and four starting blocks, and the operator describes it as the largest such pool in an indoor bath on the Chiemsee. A single slide serves the bath: a 62-metre Daylight tube slide.

The gallery above the hall carries shell-shaped relax loungers in a separate area, a children's dry play area with wooden toys, a solarium and a collagen anti-aging cabin, and brainLight massage chairs.

Bathing guests can also use the König-Ludwig salt room at roughly 50–60 °C, the quiet room and the sauna garden. The textile sauna world holds a Finnish dry sauna indoors at about 80–85 °C, a Kelosauna, a rustic log cabin outdoors built of centuries-old Finnish kelo pine at about 85–90 °C, which may be used without swimwear, and a steam bath at about 45 °C with changing scents. A separate Panoramasauna in the beach bath, reached through the leisure bath, runs at over 85 °C, seats up to ten people, releases an automatic infusion every 20 minutes and has its own jetty and fenced bathing area in the Chiemsee; it is clothes-free from October to April and a textile sauna from May to September. The quiet room is a winter-garden-style room of silence looking on to a Mediterranean-style sauna garden with a rock garden and a sun terrace. In extreme heat infusions are held only in the evening.

The leisure bath opens in the summer season from 1 May to 30 September Monday to Friday 10:00–21:00 and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 09:00–21:00, and in the winter season from 1 October to 30 April Monday to Friday 10:00–22:00 and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 09:00–22:00. The beach bath opens from May to 13 September in good weather, Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00 and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 09:00–20:00; it offers a shallow entry into the lake, a jetty with a diving board, a playground, beachminton and volleyball, warm-water showers and a beach café.
