Kristall Palm Beach — Saunawelt
Stein, Bavaria
A textile-free sauna village near Nuremberg, with timber cabins, themed hot rooms and its own thermal bathing areas. The sauna-world ticket opens a quieter setting beyond the clothed family water park, including the outdoor Alpensee thermal pool.
Nudity policy
Textile-free sauna world
The sauna area is a textile-free zone and swimwear is prohibited. Visitors who prefer some coverage may use a towel. The main family water-park area has different, clothed bathing rules.
The sauna admission or supplement must be included in the ticket. The operator requires visitors under 17 to be accompanied by a legal guardian. The sauna area is a quiet space, not a continuation of the play pools.

- Pool: Alpensee thermal pool and saltwater floating pool are within the sauna offering.
- Showers: Shower before the sauna and again before entering bathing pools.

Age & supervision
The operator explicitly welcomes children to the textile-free sauna with a legal guardian. Follow the sauna’s supervision and quiet-use rules; the separate family pool area has different clothing rules.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Year-round; check the operator’s current hours, maintenance notices and any special-day rules before visiting.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use the public entrance of Kristall Palm Beach at Albertus-Magnus-Straße 29 in Stein, just outside Nuremberg. At the ticket desk, explicitly ask for Saunawelt admission or ensure your online product includes it.
Parking
The operator confirms free parking for guests. Follow the Palm Beach car-park signs and use the visitor spaces; the four camper pitches have separate availability and do not provide a guaranteed space for an overnight vehicle.
Finding the naturist area
Check in, change and follow the Saunawelt signs into the separately ticketed sauna facilities. Shower before entering, remove swimwear for the textile-free zone and keep a large towel with you. Ask the staff for the current overview plan to find the outdoor sauna village and Alpensee without wandering through the family pools.
Where naturism applies
Nudity is for the Saunawelt. The main Badewelt and family leisure pools remain clothed bathing areas. Use a towel or robe where required between facilities and when dining; do not extend the sauna policy to the public foyer.
- Confirm the sauna supplement is included before arriving.
- Phones are prohibited in the sauna area; do not reserve loungers with towels.
- Bring a towel large enough for your whole body, including feet, on sauna benches.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
