Splash around casually? Not in the swimming pool Bondenwald! The indoor pool in Niendorf is just right for particularly active people: because in the so-called "Action Pool" can be hailed on a 7-meter climbing wall, run on a slackline over the water or make daring jumps from the 3-meter tower. You can relax in the 28 degree outdoor pool, in summer you can dive in the outdoor pool.

Therme, sauna, swimming area – a few hours in the bubbling water or sweating on the towel can easily let the stress of an entire week fizzle out. Anyone who likes to get naked for the beneficial body-and-mind combination treatment knows, however, that where it is really stunning, the prices usually knock you over. Even in the Hamburg area, we couldn’t find a wellness oasis that would have to be paid for regularly even on a tight budget. Our best tip is to jump out of bed early. If you still have half a day to go on holiday or you have to go to university later anyway, be sure to use the morning for conditions that are often significantly cheaper. Our favorite when it comes to value for money is the Holthusenbad. Mondays and Wednesdays only girls are allowed to mess around in the sauna!

Holthusenbad
Goernestrasse 21, Hamburg
Monday – Sunday: 10 a.m. – 11 p.m.
bath & Thermal baths: in summer: from € 6.20, in winter: from € 6.70

The building that houses the Kaifu brine on the Hohe Weide is more than 120 years old, the brine has only been around for a year. The warm water has six percent salinity and is therefore not only healthy for the skin, bones and respiratory tract, it also invites you to splash around – just swim upstairs. There is also a cold plunge pool, a steam bath and a Himalayan salt sauna. So if you want to relax a day again, you are in good hands here. Pro tip: The brine is open until midnight.
