'Emser Therme' spa landscape in Bad Ems will be the fourth stop of the two-day 'IAKS Facility Tour - Pools' from 26-27 October 2025. The facility tour will take place in the run-up to the aquanale trade fair - the No. 1 meeting place for the international swimming pool and wellness industry. Fostering innovations for a conscious lifestyle centred around health, wellness and exercise, the aquanale trade fair will take place in Cologne, Germany from 28-31 October 2025.
Dive deep into 'Emser Therme'. Here's why:
With its rounded shapes, warm colours and natural materials, the Thermen Landschaft spa landscape is the perfect place in which to relax and bathe in the healing Emser thermal water. The spacious thermal pool, whirlpool, exercise pool, and hot-and-cold pool beckon you to dive in and have a swim. Innovative attractions such as the salt inhalation room using the famous Emser salt, the Sidroga herbal steam bath, and the unique rain area round off the indoor offer. The outdoor area of the spa includes the open-air thermal pool and sports pool, offering recreation all-year-round, while the spacious sunbathing lawn with its clear view of the river Lahn makes for a perfect relaxation spot.
