Gross-Barmen Hot Springs

The focal point of the Gross Barmen resort is the thermal spring which supplies water to the indoor thermal hall and the outdoor swimming pool. The fountain or "eye" which feeds the two pools has been walled in and is covered with a metal dome symbolising the bubbling spring which flows at about 6 700 litres per hour. The water rises from the earth at a temperature of around 65 degrees Celsius and is then cooled off to 40 degrees Celsius for the indoor thermal bath.

The water temperature of the open-air swimming pool which is influenced by the air temperature, is usually between 25 and 29 degrees Celcius during daytime. The water in the children's splash pool is lukewarm.

Gross Barmen has a beautiful setting with its rows of palm trees, green lawns, tennis courts, children's play park and many pleasant walks. It is also a bird paradise, and the large dam with its reeds attracts more than 150 different species
