How good does that feel! Bathing in thermal spring water is always a real pleasure. But if you plunge into the natural brine pool at the Vulkaneifel Therme in Bad Bertrich, you will feel almost reborn when you emerge.
The warm mineral water comes from the mountain spring in this little spa resort. It rises to the surface from a volcanic fissure 2,300 metres underground and bubbles out of the ground at a healthy temperature of 32°C. The water is 24,800 years old and perfectly pure. It is filtered and enriched with minerals as it passes through various rock strata. The balance of minerals means that the Glauber’s salt water is also good to drink.
Due to its composition, made up largely of sodium, hydrogen carbonate and sulphate, it is officially the only Glauber’s salt spring in the whole of Germany. It takes its name from chemist and pharmacist Johann Rudolph Glauber who identified ‘Glauber’s salt’ as an element of mineral water in 1625.

The healing powers of the water have been used for a long time. The ancient Romans, known for their taste for the finer things in life, discovered the spring in Bad Bertrich centuries ago. They used the warm water in the Roman baths so typical of their everyday rituals. Even back then, they understood the beneficial and healing effects of this treasure from deep inside the earth.
