Army Outdoor Recreation makes it easy to escape to the legendary thermal baths of Baden-Baden, with convenient departures from both Smith and Pulaski Barracks.

For over two thousand years, travelers have journeyed to Baden-Baden to soak in its famous, mineral-rich "liquid gold." At the massive Caracalla Spa, you will find over 4,000 square meters of pure relaxation designed to mimic an ancient temple. Soak in expansive indoor pools, melt away your muscle tension in the extensive sauna complex, or unwind in the stylish Wellness Lounge. Outside, you can float through a lazy river water channel, relax in hot whirlpools, or simply lay back in the warm thermal water. Regardless of the season, the steaming outdoor pools offer a perfect, healthy treat.

  • Ancient Temple Baths: Soak in therapeutic, naturally heated indoor and outdoor marble pools that melt away stress.
