Wellness plus hot springs: some trends find it hard to come up with a fitting name — with the term “Quellness”, however, it lay so close at hand that it would have been a wonder had nobody invented it. It simply joins “Quelle” (spring) and “wellness”, that is recreation around warm thermal water.
Whether you understand Quellness as a thermally accented variant of wellness or as the logical further development of the wellness trend with thermal springs is up to you. What is clear: today people do not wait with their time out until nothing works any more. They prefer to prevent signs of fatigue and overload early and to grant themselves recreation regularly — which refreshes body, soul and mind. In Bad Griesbach this aspiration meets one of the most spring-rich regions of Bavaria.
Bad Griesbach as a Quellness place
Feeling good and health prevention do not exclude one another. In the Quellness hotels of Bad Griesbach — such as the five-star spa hotel Maximilian — they understand the benefits of warm water treatments. The mineral-rich, warm thermal water from the Bad Griesbach springs is legally recognised as a remedy and is classically used for degenerative and rheumatic conditions of the musculoskeletal system — for joint wear (osteoarthritis), soft-tissue rheumatism or spinal complaints, for example. The baths act above all to relieve pain and promote mobility; as a serious cure, though, the whole thing belongs under the guidance of a spa physician.
In rehabilitation too — after joint operations or injuries, say — a balneotherapeutic cure can be used in support. As a thermal spa town in the Lower Bavarian spa triangle, the Dreiquellenbad also lies in appealing countryside: pilgrimage churches, one of the largest golf courses in Germany, hiking, cycling and riding trails, a fitness course in the spa park, themed paths and Nordic walking routes provide ample variety between treatments.
At the source of well-being
That warm springs do you good has been known for centuries. In warm thermal water training is particularly gentle on the joints: you forget the weight of the body, the musculature relaxes, circulation increases — mobility and well-being often set in immediately. Aqua fitness relieves the joints and is fun; added to it are morning swimming or walking, cold-warm showers, rest phases, sauna rounds and massages, complemented by physiotherapy where needed. The Quellness hotels of Bad Griesbach keep just such a holistic programme ready. Important to know: a genuine healing cure is designed for two to three weeks — a long weekend is recreation rather than therapy, but it does you noticeable good all the same.
Phenomenally thermal
The Bad Griesbach thermal water is suitable both for thermal bathing and for drinking cures — some call it the “gold” of Bad Griesbach. Depending on the depth from which it is drawn, the healing water bubbles to the surface at 30, 38 or 60 degrees Celsius. Besides the bathing landscape you can enjoy classic wellness treatments in the hammam or beauty treatments. Whether you come for prevention, for regeneration or for medically supervised rehabilitation is your own decision — with a corresponding diagnosis an application for a cure is possible too.
