From Ancient Roman Spas to Modern German Swimming Pools!

The Kaiserthermen are not still used for swimming today (and you’ll see why in my pictures of it!) but right across the street is modern-day swimming pool and sauna that’s very similar to what the ancient Romans used to use. There’s a cooler pool for exercising, a warm regular pool, and a hot tub area too!

Is this tradition connected to its environment? How?:

The Romans settled in Trier because it was a good location in comparison to their other major cities, and because it’s right along the Mosel river. That meant it was a convenient place for trading goods. Therefore, Trier has carried a lot of these Roman traditions, and you can visit ancient sites like the Kaiserthermen!
