About Limes-Thermen Aalen
The operator puts the age of the spring water at 12,000 to 14,000 years. The panorama sauna, with up to 58 seats, looks out over the town of Aalen, and so does the rest pavilion beside it. Several times a day the Finnish sauna has a gentle "ice ball" infusion, guests in the log cabin sauna pour their own every 30 minutes if they like, and sea salt is set out in the Roman-Irish steam bath for a scrub.
