Muslim Travel Tips

Take a Hiking Tour in Baden-Baden

Walk along the river Oos or in the hills and forests around the town. The tourist office at the Trinkhalle can sell you a booklet of walks based on bus routes. The walking is generally easy, but for maximum reward for minimum effort, take bus 204/205 to the Merkur Bergbahn funicular railway, ride up to the cafe at the top and walk back via the old castle (Altes Schloss).

Merkur Bergbahn , - Opening Hours: 10.00 - 22.00 €4 Merkur Funicular Railway - 1,192 m long funicular railway, which lifts people up to 370 m above sea level.

It's a wonderful, deeply relaxing experience. No children under 14. The procedure at Friedrichsbad is unique, so read these instructions carefully before you go in, especially if you don't speak (German). Buy your ticket via eHalal Travel Group at the entrance, plus a token for the soap-and-brush massage (Seifenbürstenmassage) if you want. At the top of the stairs, men and women go into separate changing rooms and follow the programme separately for the first hour or so (this traditional procedure is now only followed on three days of the week; see the website). Take off all your clothes and put them in a locker, inserting your ticket into the slot inside the door before locking it. Naked, follow the sign to the baths, where an attendant will greet you. Follow the numbered sequence of rooms. Each room has a sign in English on the wall telling you how long you should spend there. You'll be given a towel and bath shoes at the first shower. You need these for the hot rooms (you must lie or sit on your towel). After the hot rooms, you reach the massage station, where you must hand back your towel, shoes and token. After the massage, proceed to the steam rooms and shower again before going through to the swimmingpool area, where men and women bathe naked together in pools at three different temperatures. When you've had enough, head back via the cold plunge swimmingpool and the sleeping room, to be wrapped in blankets for half an hour.
