Bad Füssing — Europe's largest thermal spa resort — is just 30 km from Vilshofen, and Sonnen Therme is its crown jewel: vast radon-mineral pools, saunas, and outdoor thermal lagoons in a serene Bavarian setting. Bucket-list relaxation after days at sea.
What to expect
Step into a world of steaming outdoor thermal pools fed by natural radon-mineral springs that have drawn health-seekers since the 1950s. Sonnen Therme offers multiple indoor and outdoor pools at varying temperatures, a generous sauna landscape, and tranquil sun terraces overlooking the Bavarian countryside. The waters are genuinely therapeutic — warm, buoyant, and soothing on every muscle. Arrive mid-morning, luxuriate for three to four hours, enjoy a light lunch at the spa bistro, and return refreshed to the ship.
Good to know
Book a private taxi or driver from the dock (approx. 30 min each way) rather than relying on public transport. Bring or rent a towel onsite. Lockers and robes available. Ideal for a relaxed morning port day.
