Annual inspection from 10 – 28 June 2024 – Sibyllenbad open!

We would like to continue to offer our guests the usual hygienic standards. We are therefore expected to carry out our annual mandatory inspection from 10 to 28 June 2024. During this time all pools and saunas will be serviced. The Sibyllenbad remains open during this time. One sauna floor is always in operation while the other is being maintained. The pools are taken out of service one after the other so that at least two pools are always open for the guests. We will announce in good time in advance which facilities will be out of operation and when. All facilities are scheduled to operate on weekends during the inspection.

Oriental bathing temple closed for renovation

Dear guests,

our oriental bathing temple was opened in May 1997 and has been operating successfully until today. You probably know this from home: as buildings age, renovation and modernization become inevitable, and our Oriental Pavilion is no exception.

The oriental bathing temple is expected to be closed by spring 2026. All other facilities – saunas, swimming pools and the medical department – ​​will remain in business as usual during the renovation of the oriental bathing temple.

Sibyllenbad: Medical section, bathing and wellness section

Medical section with balneological treatment – spa water section – wellness section with eight different saunas and oriental bathing temple:

The Sibyllenbad health centre comprises the Kurmittelhaus and the spa gardens with certified vital course. The Kurmittelhaus Sibyllenbad disposes of a medical section with balneological treatment as well as of a fango and bathing section. The guests find relaxation and recovery in the recently renovated spa water section with outdoor bathing area or in the wellness section with eight different saunas and a unique oriental bathing temple in Turkish Hamam style. In the fitness studio on the relaxation gallery, the guests can train in the synchro-exercise circle.

Two highly effective medicinal waters are used in the Sibyllenbad. For more than 25 years, the radon Katharinenquelle (Catherine spring) has been prescribed in a series of six to twelve single tub baths for long-lasting pain relief in case of rheumatic and spinal diseases. The soothing effect of the carbon dioxide Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) can be enjoyed by our guests at 100 % in single tub baths; this water is moreover added to the pools in the bathing section.

The whole Kurmittelhaus is designed to fit the needs of disabled persons and is suitable for wheelchairs due to elevators, tub lifts, a fango room being accessible for wheelchairs, therapy pool lift, disabled persons’ dressing room (within the time control) and barrier-free wellness section.

Sibyllenbad natural fango – depth effect from the volcano

The agreeable heat in the pleasantly tempered waterbed as well as the heat-retaining effects of our natural fango from volcanic rocks provide for relief and deep relaxation in case of painful joints and tense muscles. The effect is increased by the addition of carbon dioxide containing spa water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring): the natural carbon dioxide increases the effects of the natural fango by improving the blood flow in the treated body parts, strengthening the immune system, encouraging the elasticity of the muscles as well as invigorating the metabolism. As a supplement to the Sibyllenbad natural fango, a comfrey treatment is recommended. For centuries, the medicinal herb comfrey has been known as a remedy against painful joints and muscles, in case of sprains and rheumatism. Already Paracelsus and Hildegard von Bingen used comfrey as a natural remedy. The comfrey root extract is added to the Sibyllenbad natural fango immediately before the treatment so that the medicinal plant can unfold its maximum effect.

Against an extra charge, your prescription for a paraffin fango treatment can be upgraded to a high-quality Sibyllenbad natural fango treatment. The surcharge for comfrey amounts to an additional 0.80 €.

Medicinal water containing radon from Katharinenquelle (Catherine spring)

The main indication of medicinal water containing radon is chronic pain in patients with rheumatic and spinal diseases. The Katherinenquelle (Catherine spring) is a natural source of radon water in in the Upper Palatinate Forest, and has been in use since 1964. Radon therapy as a series of individual tub sessions has been practiced in Neualbenreuth since 1989 – then in the bathhouse Maiersreuth – and since 1996 with an increased tub capacity in the Kurmittelhaus Sibyllenbad in the Kurallee.

Radon is a highly volatile noble gas, which is dissolved in the medicinal water. As a slightly radioactive element it disintegrates with a half-life period of 3.8 days. In the tubs of the Sibyllenbad, an optimum radon concentration between 1.600 and 2.000 becquerel for pain therapy is ensured.

In the framework of a radon therapy at Sibyllenbad, a series of at least six to twelve single bathing sessions is prescribed. The duration per bath at 36° C is 20 minutes with a subsequent resting period of another 20 minutes.

During the bath, the patient absorbs the radon through the skin and lungs, and releases it subsequently through the lungs. In the course of this process, a small part of the element disintegrates within the body into its progenies. When disintegrating, radon releases alpha radiation, which is responsible for processes on the cell level alleviating pain, reducing inflammation and positively influencing the immune system as well as endogenous repair mechanism. For the patient, a radiation dose of max. 2 mSv (with approx. 10 bathing sessions) is harmless. The same holds true for the staff working in the tub area.

Unique radon-carbon dioxide combination baths

The radon-carbon dioxide combination baths are unique in the Sibyllenbad. The therapy is based on medicinal carbon dioxide water, to which radon water is added underneath the water surface. The radon-carbon dioxide combination bath comprises approx. three tub fillings of medicinal water. Bathing in medicinal carbon dioxide water improves the blood flow, relieves the cardiovascular system and improves the absorption capacity of the skin. This improves the effectiveness of the radon therapy considerably.

The fundamentals of the radon-carbon dioxide combination baths in the Sibyllenbad were developed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Wolfgang A. Grunewald, who acted as medical director and balneologist in the Sibyllenbad from 1989 to 2012. Through the innovation of radon-carbon dioxide combination baths it became possible to use radon therapy for patients with rheumatic and cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension (elevated blood pressure). The combination therapy is particularly gentle and well tolerated by patients.

The large regeneration bath – radon, carbon dioxide and oxygen

In the large regeneration bath, the patient inhales medical oxygen during the radon-carbon dioxide combination bath. The oxygen supply in the organs is thus improved. The large regeneration bath with radon, carbon dioxide and oxygen inhalation is above all suited for preserving quality of live in old age, and for preventing premature ageing.

Radon baths in the Sibyllenbad are subject to medical prescription.

Medicinal water in the Sibyllenbad Spa: carbon dioxide and radon

The medicinal water of the radon spa Katharinenquelle (Catherine spring) can help to achieve long-lasting pain-relief, and the carbon dioxide spa Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) may help patients with cardiovascular disease and stress.

The Sibyllenbad offers two highly effective medicinal waters: water containing radon from Katharinenquelle (Catherine spring), and water with carbon dioxide from Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring). The rare noble gas radon is one of the most effective balneological remedies. Used in the necessary regularity, it reactivates endogenous self-healing powers, improves blood circulation, has analgesic effects, inhibits inflammation and strengthens the immune system.

Radon baths have been practised for more than 30 years in the Sibyllenbad for pain relief in patients with rheumatic, spinal and joint diseases. The baths are prescribed for a minimum of six individual sessions. The costs for a radon therapy are refunded by Germany’s statutory health insurances on a case-to-case basis as out-patient preventive measure (spa treatment), or are paid for privately by patients.

The medicinal carbon dioxide water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) naturally regulates the circulatory system, has a balancing effect on blood pressure, improves vessel circulation, strengthens the heart and counters physical and mental strain. The elasticity of the connective tissue, above all close to the joints, as well as the blood flow are improved and the muscular system is relaxed.

The medicinal carbon dioxide water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) is added to the pools in the spa’s bathing section at a percentage ranging from 50 to 70%. Undiluted medicinal carbon dioxide water can be enjoyed during single bathing sessions. In the basement of the Kurmittelhaus, the guests can help themselves free of charge at the drinking fountain with medicinal carbon dioxide water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring).

Carbon dioxide Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring)

Water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) naturally regulates the circulation, has a balancing effect on blood pressure, improves the blood flow and counteracts physical and mental strain.

Baths at the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring) are prescribed both in the single tub (100 % carbon dioxide spa water) and with a concentration of 30-70 % in the spa water bathing section.

Natural carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulates on the surface of the skin and penetrates the skin. A slightly reddened skin can be observed which is due to an increased blood flow caused by the penetrating carbon dioxide. Through the increased blood flow in the skin, the carbon dioxide has the following systemic effects:

  • Improved blood flow properties (viscosity)
  • Reduced resistance in certain blood vessels in the head, heart and legs, thus improved blood flow in these areas
  • Reduced heartbeat frequency (pulse rate)
  • Relief of the cardiovascular system
  • Improved oxygen supply of the organs
  • Mental stabilization

Indications for the carbon dioxide Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring)

  • Borderline hypertension
  • Condition after stroke
  • Condition after heart attack, dilation of the coronary vessels (PTCA) with or without stent as well as after bypass surgery (ACVB)
  • Cardiac arrhythmia with and without pacemaker
  • Peripheral arterial circulatory disturbances of the legs with skin involvement and reduced walking distance (intermittent claudication)
  • Neuro-circulatory disturbances, e.g. in case of diabetes (diabetic polyneuropathy)

Carbon dioxide mineral baths can be prescribed – like radon baths – with additional oxygen inhalation. The oxygen is absorbed by the brain, heart muscle and leg muscles and performance is increased in these areas.

Movement therapy in the spa water bathing section

The body is heated up in the exercise pool and the elasticity of the connective tissue, especially close to joints, is increased, the blood flow is improved and the muscles are relaxed.

Movement therapy in the spa water is particularly important in the Sibyllenbad – as controlled self-treatment, as group sessions or as an individualexercise in the exercise pool in the course of which the therapist works together with the patient in the spa water.

Drinking fountain in the basement

In the basement of the Kurmittelhaus, guests can help themselves free of charge at the drinking fountain with carbon dioxide spa water from the Sibyllenquelle (Sibyllen spring).

Make use of our spa water in the outdoor area with warm and cold water course as well as integrated plunge pool. As an optimized Kneipp treatment, the cold water course encourages the blood reflux in the veins and improves the lymphatic circulation in case of venous weakness and lymphatic drainage disorders. The warm water course increases the oxygen supply of the muscles and and thus promotes mobility and flexibility. Important when taking contrast baths: always end with the cold water course.

In the neighbouring teahouse with terrace you can enjoy sandwiches, crispy salad plates, coffee and cakes as well as cold drinks. The teahouse is moreover open to guests of the bathing section. An entrance to the wellness section is not required to access the teahouse.

The evaporation grotto offers an exclusive kind of refreshment and stimulation of the well-being. Pure mineral trace elements run over two high semicircular natural stone walls. Water drops moisten and cover the skin with a refreshing film of this mineral medicinal water – soothing for the respiratory tracts and the circulation, the bathing guest inhales a healthy natural mixture of medicinal water and oxygen from the surrounding air. Relaxation in the evaporation grotto for approx. 5 minutes provides for a gentle cooling down after a stay in the steam bath or the exercise pool. The inhalation of the evaporating medicinal water moreover has a beneficial effect on the respiratory tracts in case of:

  • Chronic nasal sinusitis
