The healing world of H20 <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In Germany, thermal water is seen as a form of medicinal water and is even regulated by a directive on remedies. Therefore, mattiaqua officially deals with a pharmaceutical product that has to be regularly checked and monitored by pharmacists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heartland of thermal baths\u2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The origins of Wiesbaden\u2019s thermal springs Once upon a time, Ekko the Giant was hunting a dragon, but the beast was nowhere to be found\u2026 First he drove his spear into the ground several times and hot water came gushing out. Then he fell and had to support his weight on the damp ground with his forearm and left hand. Legend has it that Wiesbaden\u2019s valleys, hills and thermal springs were created on that fateful day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five main springs converge beneath the Kaiser-Friedrich-Therme in the city, where they are regularly maintained. An underground pipe is used to transport the thermal water from beneath the Kaiser-Friedrich-Therme to the Thermalbad Aukammtal a few kilometres away. Giant!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kleinfeldchen indoor and outdoor pool<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sparkling 50s\u2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Kleinfeldchen is a popular swimming attraction that was originally planned as a purely outdoor pool in the 1950s. The indoor area was only built 20-25 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiesbaden has produced several Olympians in different swimming disciplines, such as Angela Maurer, Jenny Mensing and Christian Reichert. Helge Meeuw (now retired) made Wiesbaden proud by setting European and German records. Kleinfeldchen is or was the training ground for all those athletes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
