Baden Baden Germany


Baden-Baden is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located on the western foothills of the Black Forest, on the banks of the Oos River, in the region of Karlsruhe. The German word 'Baden' translates as 'to bath/bathe'.

Baden Baden is famous for its Caracalla therme spa: http://www.carasana.de/home/en/caracalla.html and Friedrichsbad spa:http://mindbodyfitness.suite101.com/article.cfm/friedrichsbad_roman_irish_bath_badenbaden a beautiful temple to traditional bathing culture, built in 1877, complete with statues and decorative tiling and culminating in a circular central pool in an ornate domed hall. In these surroundings, the Roman-Irish bath (Römisch-Irisches Bad) is a program of heat, massage, steam and water. An experience neither one of us will forget.
