Johannesbad Thermen-Marathon

In late January, Bad Füssing's thermal springs offer a warm, restorative counterpoint to the crisp outdoor air, making the post-marathon soak a truly earned ritual. Between training and racing, explore the town's spa gardens and the nearby Rottal countryside, and warm up afterward with hearty Bavarian fare like Schweinshaxe and a stein of local beer. The off-season calm means you'll have the trails and thermal baths to yourself, a rare luxury for a race weekend.
