Außenbereich Quellbad, Water park in Varel, Germany
The Quellbad is a recreational water park with indoor and outdoor sections in Varel, fed by water from a local spring source. The facility combines several pools of different sizes and temperatures in one continuous complex.
The thermal spring was discovered decades ago and has served as the foundation for recreational activities in the region. The Quellbad developed as a bathing facility to make this natural resource accessible to the public.
The facility blends local wellness traditions with recreational swimming, offering visitors a space where thermal bathing is seen as both leisure and self-care. The mix of families, locals, and tourists using the pools reflects how German communities view thermal water as part of everyday health practices.
The facility is easiest to visit on weekends when longer opening hours are available. The grounds are accessible by car and offer parking for visitors.
The water is pumped from a deep underground spring that is mineral-rich and naturally warmer than typical sources. This natural heat source saves the facility significant heating costs and makes it unusually sustainable.
