About the Karlsruhe baths
Karlsruhe is a bathing city with a water experience that leaves nothing to be desired. A campsite and ten different pools await you here, transforming your everyday life into water fun. With a total of 50 pools spread across four outdoor pools, three indoor pools, a thermal bath, a sports pool and an adventure pool, Karlsruhe offers countless opportunities to dive in and relax. Our 25 saunas with temperatures between 45 and 90 degrees are also available for relaxation.
The Karlsruhe pools are not only a place to relax, but also a paradise for adrenalin junkies. With over 1100 metres of slides, you can feel the adrenaline and have lots of fun at the same time.
Another highlight is the Europabad Karlsruhe, where our guests can bathe in a total of 3 million litres of water - that's around 20,000 filled bathtubs!
With 1.5 million guests per year, Karlsruhe's pools are a real crowd-puller. This is roughly equivalent to the population of Germany's third largest city, Munich.
The Karlsruhe baths are far more than just places to swim and relax - they are a social meeting place and a place of fun for the whole family, for young, old, big and small.
