Shenaz Treasurywala Instagram – I was terrified taking my clothes off but I was determined to try this spa. Afterall it’s a UNESCO world heritage site and the oldest spa in Baden Baden. Even Mark Twain has been to this spa. For Germans it’s a very regular thing to walk around naked without batting an eyelid. However for me as an Indian woman it was daunting and I have to admit I wasn’t able to stay there for very long after the people started pouring in :) but at least I got to see it, it was sooo beautiful 😍 I did try to wear that towel but got scolded a couple of times by women – “it’s a nude spa and you have to be naked.” Why? I asked. I was told – The reason to be naked in a Baden Baden Germany spa is one of hygiene. Sweat is the body’s way of cooling itself down. When in a sauna or a steam room any clothing slows that process down. Friedrichsbad Baden Baden is the oldest and most traditional of the Baden-Baden Thermal Spa options. These thermal hot springs were discovered 2000 years ago by the Romans who built a spa under this very place where I am today. This place is in the top 5 spa destinations in the world! The city has so much on offer but in this post, I decided to focus on this spa experience! Stay tuned for more. I am going to try a spa which allows a bikini 👙- tomorrow!!! @caracallatherme_friedrichsbad #germanytourism @visitbadenbaden @germanytourism
