Bad Füssing sits in the Lower Bavarian Rottal, where a 1938 borehole seeking oil struck hot sulphurous water instead. The Europa Therme is one of three large public thermal baths in the village, with a broad spread of indoor and outdoor pools at graded temperatures and an extensive sauna landscape.

Why visit
