Fascinating excursion destination, catalyst for children's fantasies and natural remedy. A visit to the moorland spas in Baden-Württemberg is always worthwhile - as a nature experience, family outing or wellness trip.
A bathtub full of peat doesn't look very inviting at first, but it feels all the better. The composition of thermal water with the valuable contents of the peat alone provides immediate deep relaxation and pain relief.
However, something else is decisive for the almost "magical" effect of a mud bath on arthrosis, rheumatic diseases and chronic pain:
Moor mud releases its heat much more slowly than water. This allows the heat to penetrate deeper into the body and raise the core body temperature to up to 40 °C in a short time.
What this "artificial fever" does:
Right on the outskirts of Bad Buchau lies a real natural paradise: the moorland of the Federsee is home to more than 265 species of birds and is labeled a “European reserve”. Here you can get closer to the unique moor landscape, its plants and animals than anywhere else - because the Federsee is accessible via a 1.5 kilometer long footbridge made of wooden planks.
The Wackelwald is also an accessible moor: a stable top layer has developed between the roots of the trees and other plants - but underneath lies spongy, soft peat soil. The floor gives way a little with every step and then springs back again. An unforgettable feeling that athletes also appreciate very much. The jogging route through the forest is very popular with locals and guests.
There are a total of 5 mud spas spread across Baden-Württemberg. 3 of them in Upper Swabia, 2 in the Black Forest. They all attract visitors with special experiences, genuine natural treasures and relaxing wellness offers.
