Donautherme

About

A bathing complex in central Ingolstadt where a seven-room sauna world sits behind the leisure pool and thermal hall. The cabins run from a 60°C stone-pine room to a 100°C fire sauna, with a steam bath, a plunge pool, an outdoor pool and a garden built round a pond. Infusions follow a published programme; over-16s only.

Good to know

• Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
• Bar on premises: drinks alongside (or after) the session, and the venue isn't dry like most outdoor sauna setups.
• Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
• Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
• Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
• Restaurant on site, so long sessions are the design. Food is part of the visit rather than a stop on the way home.
• Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
• Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.

• Mon-Sun 10:00-22:00
