The thermal brine bath "Obermain Therme" was opened to bathers on January 1, 1986. At a depth of 1600 meters, Bavaria's warmest and strongest thermal brine had been discovered with an exit temperature of 52 degrees Celsius and a nine percent mineralization. A second drilling in 1993 tapped a 53-degree warm brine with a twelve percent mineralization at a depth of 1180 meters. The spa is divided into the areas of Thermal Bath, Sauna, Wellness, and Health Resort. Every year, almost 800,000 people visit the "Obermain Therme", which is an average of 2000 per day.
