Magdeburg's main bathing, sauna, and wellness complex on the Elbe floodplain, with seven saunas including a panoramic sauna overlooking the Elbaue, a Terrassen-Sanarium, a steam bath, and a Rasul treatment room.
NEMO Bade-, Sauna- und Wellnesswelt is Magdeburg's principal bathing and wellness complex, set in the Herrenkrug area on the edge of the Elbe floodplain northeast of the city center. The facility's sauna landscape includes seven different saunas, among them a panoramic sauna seating around 70 people with an unobstructed view over the Elbaue wetlands, considered the highlight of the complex, along with a Terrassen-Sanarium sauna running at a milder 60 degrees Celsius, a steam bath, and a Rasul room combining mud application with steam. Beyond the sauna area, the complex offers swimming pools and a range of massage and beauty treatments. Its position within Herrenkrug Park puts it close to the Dorint Herrenkrug Parkhotel and the Elbe riverside cycling and walking paths, making it easy to combine a sauna session with an afternoon along the river or a walk toward Elbauenpark further along the Elbe.
