Freizeitbad Kristall trimini Kochel am See

I've wanted to go to these therms since I saw the sign on the highway and visited their Website. On the Website you see photos of the therms with an awsome view (situated righ on the lake with the mountains behind it) and several different atractions such as indoor and outdoor pools, different thermal mineral pools, slides, children pools and different saunas.
So we finally got around to going there and, as we parked the car, we were really excited because the location is stunning beautiful (I definitely want to visit that lake again and walk around it one day).
So we entered the building and at the reception we were asked if we wanted also the sauna area or just the pool area. Since in Germany tipically clothes are not allowed in the saunas, which is not really our cup of tea, whenever we visit therms in Germany we always buy the entrance excluding Sauna and we always buy a whole day ticket (because until now we always stayed a whole day in all the different therms we visited - lesson learned!).
So after changing clothes, one first enters an indoor area with a bigger pool (without water jets or such, just a normal indoor pool) where the water was colder than the average public pool so we didn't really feel like staying there long.
We then visited the other few small pools in that indoor area that have very soft waterfalls (the whole area is more focused on children).
Then we headed to the outside area which has no direct water entrance from the inside, which means one has to walk wet in the freezing winter cold before entering the water. The warm outside pool also didn't have any water jets or such, it was just a plain small sized pool, and the view was not very awsome because it was mostly cut by the building. There was also a bigger outside pool but the water was cold which is not inviting at all in the freezing german winter months.
We then tried to find the thermal mineral pools and the pool bar and that's when we were informed by a staff member that all those pools (so the actual therms) are inside the sauna area where no clothes are allowed. At first I thought she had misunderstood our question because on the website there was only one mineral pool that said "textil free" so surely she was refering to that one, but after exploring the space we realized it was true, that was it... We were so angry. I mean, why would they mention on a webpage with several pools the words "textil free" in just one of the pools? Of course one assumes the other ones are for clothed people, right?
We decided to leave as none of the pools were inviting or interesting enough for a second try.
After a lot of argumentation at the reception, we managed to get a 6€ refund so in total we ended up paying 30€ to be 1h in what in my opinion is nothing but a public pool and not even a good one. I mean if I wanted to go to a public pool I would have stayed in Munich and gone to the Nordbad which has a much better indoor pool (with lanes), a much better outdoor pool (with direct water entrance from the inside, water jets and even a crazy river) and costs less than 1/3 of the price!
What a disappointment .... :(

sehr positiv
das freibad ist für groß und klein ein rießen spass hat 2 springtürme und einen wunderschönenausblick auf den kochelsee und 2 rutschen eine drinnen eine draußen

Tolles Bad und Therme. Wir sind öfter hier!
Essen etwas teuer. Personal sehr freundlich, alles sauber!
Allerdings gehört in eine Therme kein Familientag, das stört enorm, vor allem, wenn die kleinsten in den Pool kacken!!!

Die umgebaute Therme sieht einfach nur spitze aus. Besonders die Große Sauna war überwältigend.
Wir kommen wieder.

Die Lage ist eine der schönsten in Bayern. Aussicht auf die Berge und den Kochelsee. Wegen dem Umbau der Saunalandschaft wurde eine Finnische Sauna im Bad integriert, welche im Eintrittspreis dabei ist. Im Vergleich mit tölzer Bad noch sehr günstig für Familien. Freue mich schon darauf das die neue Saunalandschaft öffnet. Könnte aber noch etwas dauern, da Fördergelder nicht fließen und deshalb erst einmal ein Baustopp verhängt worden ist.

Da warte ich lieber bis die Freibäder in Benediktbeuern oder Bichl wieder aufmachen.

Hat neuen Betreiber.
Familienrabatte wurden gestrichen. Preis also um 50 Prozent für die Familie erhöht. Akzeptiert Oberbayerncard nicht mehr.
Nicht mehr zu empfehlen.
