“Where better for a revitalising spa break holiday than Germany, where wellness is a way of life and there are hundreds of historic spa towns – promising healing waters, eccentric art deco bathhouses and enormous therme complexes amid forests and mountains. Not to mention a famously open-minded attitude to nudity.”

“There are few nationalities as well versed in spa culture as the Germans. The balneological art of eine Kur machen (taking the waters) dates back centuries; doctors prescribe the healing power of thermal springs and nourishing peats to lower blood pressure, boost circulation or alleviate a host of ailments from arthritis to rheumatism. Today, there are more than 350 approved spa and health resorts scattered around the country.”
