Accommodation in Bad Füssing

Bad Füssing: Europas meistbesuchtes Thermalbad-Dorf

Bad Füssing is a phenomenon: a village in Lower Bavaria's Rottal valley that, thanks to its sulphurous thermal water, records more overnight stays than many a big city. Three thermal spas – the Europa Therme, the Johannesbad and Therme Eins – draw from around 1,000 metres below ground, and around them has grown a resort that combines health with Bavarian cosiness.

The hosts are attuned to the spa-goer's rhythm: houses like the Parkhotel and the Hotel Fent are a few minutes' walk from the baths, while guesthouses like Haus Lissi, Haus Bärbel and Haus Maria form the personal, affordable alternative. Many guests stay by the week – holiday flats like the Eichenhof are equipped for it with kitchen and balcony.

Between bathing sessions there are cycle paths along the Inn and Rott rivers, the spa gardens with their concert pavilion and trips to nearby Passau with its cathedral. Book directly with the host and you pay no agency commission – and receive the well-tested advice on which hour finds the pools at their emptiest.
