Are you looking for a hotel setup or just a day thing?<BR><BR>I can recommend Baden-Baden as a very relaxing spa town.

Steve, <BR>Thanks for the recommendation in Baden-Baden. I'm looking for a day thing. Any responses appreciated. Laura<BR>

Laura,<BR><BR>I understand that most of the spas are nude spas. Hope you won't have a problem with that.

Laura,<BR>spas aren't &quot;nude spas&quot; . However, the saunas are, even if mixed.<BR>I can recommend the Casseiopeia therme (spa) in Badenweiler, south of Freiburg. It was built on old Roman ruins, several pools (indoor, outdoors) of various temperatures, sauna, Roman-Greek bath, steam bath. Also, just for your information, spas in Germany are different from spas in the US (Germans are paid a 3-4 week spa trip from their health insurance every 3 years), so it's not a very exclusive experience (plus a lot of old people). Baden-baden is probably different because of the casino.
