Germany
Pohl is a municipality in the Nassau district of Rhineland-Palatinate, in the Taunus foothills where the Rhine and Lahn valleys intersect. The sauna scene is part of the broader Lahn valley and Taunus spa corridor — a region historically oriented toward Kur tourism, with Bad Ems, Nassau, and the Lahn river providing the spa-town context. Hotels and resort complexes in the Taunus hills serve the Frankfurt region's weekend wellness market. German textile-free norms apply; venues are small-to-mid scale and oriented toward a relaxed rural market rather than urban spectacle.
Local hotel saunas in the forested Nassauer Land. Bad Schwalbach (25 km east) has natron spring baths. Taunus Therme Bad Homburg (40 km east) is the region's major thermal facility.
The western Taunus (Nassau, Bad Camberg, Montabaur) has spa hotels embedded in forest. Pohl is very small — the surrounding hills and the Bad Schwalbach–Bad Homburg corridor are the draw.
Taunus Therme Bad Homburg: 40 km. Frankfurt airport: 60 km. The Frankfurt–Taunus spa axis makes the whole western Taunus accessible in a single day.
