The existing bathing facility on the Wörnitz was to be upgraded and the dilapidated entrance building and the equally run-down bridge were to be replaced by new structures. A new wooden walkway now interconnects all the existing and newly erected buildings and attractions.

The winter bathing house measures 110 m² and contains a bath and changing room, sauna, barrier-free toilet, community room with kitchenette and a wooden terrace with outdoor shower, bathing jetty and stairs down to the cold water of the harbour basin.

Water and flora appear on both horizontal and vertical surfaces of the spa: the water in the pools, the lawn, the water curtains and the plant-covered walls. The 5,624 m² water surface creates an artistic composition of “fold­ed up” spaces, introducing the visitors into this immersive water world as if entering a grand ­oasis.
