Bad Saarow 

The health resort on Lake Scharmützelsee

Bad Saarow is a place of transformation. While the Saarow and Pieskow manors were still a dream in Fontane's time, around 100 years ago the transformation from a wallflower in Brandenburg to a "state-approved thermal brine and mud spa" began. 

Healing mud and thermal brine, today from the 450-meter-deep Catharinenquelle, and pretty villas and country houses on the banks of the Scharmützelsee attracted Berlin's elite to the town in the Golden Twenties, which has been called Bad Saarow since 1923. The first train stopped here in 1912. The station, built a year earlier, became a traditional landmark.

Today, more than ever, Bad Saarow is a master of transformation. On the one hand, it is a place on the 15-kilometer shore of Lake Scharmützelsee for all those who want to relax, seek leisure and peace, and who can find modern spa and health facilities here, such as the SaarowTherme, restaurants and cafés, or the lake promenade that invites you to relax.

The spa town of Bad Saarow offers holidaymakers, health-conscious people and those interested in culture alike plenty of opportunities for great days at Scharmützelsee. See an exhibition, unwind in one of the cafés or restaurants, enjoy wellness in the SaarowTherme or take a cruise across the Märkisches Meer.

natural moor from the Wierichwiesen

In 1912, a bog iron ore deposit was discovered north of Lake Scharmützelsee, which means that traces of iron ore deposits were found close to the earth's surface.
Just two years later, a mud bath opened, where the operators used the healing mud from the Wierich meadows. Thanks to the extensive deposits of this natural remedy, the popular health resort was able to develop.
The Bad Saarow natural moor is rich in humic acids, minerals and estrogen-containing substances and is mined directly at the site, at the Wierichwiesen.

Particularly good for treating joint pain, rheumatism, spinal disorders, joint, respiratory and nervous system disorders. The mud releases the stored heat evenly and thus reaches the deeper organs and muscles. In addition, a mud treatment has a cleansing, nourishing and detoxifying effect.
The treatments can be booked at the SaarowTherme.

 

natural brine from the Catharinenquelle

The spring is located directly opposite the SaarowTherme at a depth of 450 m and has a temperature of 21° C, making it officially a thermal brine spring. The various rock layers enrich it with valuable minerals and trace elements. The brine is used in its natural state in the SaarowTherme. Only iron and manganese are filtered out for technical reasons.

A saltwater bath is particularly helpful for the body after accidents, injuries and operations and promotes healing or alleviation of symptoms. The salt content also has a positive effect on the skin's appearance. The skin becomes soft and supple. Of course, the slightly salty air also has a positive effect on the respiratory tract.
