Netter, kleiner Spaziergang

Netter kleiner Spaziergang, der durch das Infoblatt von der Rezeption durchaus interessant ist. Guter Einstieg um danach in die hot pools zu gehen.

Eine geschlossene (!) Attraktion zu verkaufen!

Wir sind über 100 km Umweg dafür gefahren - nur um zu erfahren, dass es leider die ganze Woche geschlossen und ohne Wasser ist. Dass wir dann das Eintrittsgeld zurück bekommen ist nicht wirklich zufriedenstellend!

Ganz nett zum spazieren

Nettes Plätzchen zum spazieren. Der Spa Bereich sieht auch schön aus, wir waren leider nicht drin. Den vollen hätte ich aber nicht bezahlen wollen.

Good experience

Good experience - not sure worth the cost of full price? If you are planning on visiting Spa pools, no need to purchase ticket for walk way
