Wellness in Merkel Art Nouveau Indoor Swimming Pool

Lovingly restored with subtlety and sensitivity down to the last detail: The Merkel indoor swimming pool combines history and modernity. Opened in Esslingen in 1907, the Art Nouveau pool is a uniquely beautiful synthesis of a mineral thermal bath and a sports, family and club pool. The city's wellness oasis is our hot tip if you are looking for relaxation.
