German term or phrase: Kneippbrunnen

This is from a Swiss translation of a hotel with various thermal spa services. I can easily find pictures of Kneippbrunnen and obviously it's some type of fountain but am unsure of its English equivalent.

context (list of amenities in a particular room type)

• Whirpool
• Regendusche
• Kneippbrunnen
• Wasserbettlounge
• Roomservice
• Minibar, Docking-Station für Smartphones
• Aktuelle Zeitschriften
• Badamenities
Bademantel, Shampoo, Bodylotion, Fön etc.

Thank you!

or "stream"

In your spa holiday at hotel Forsthofalm in the Salzburger Land, you will find the Kneipp stream, enjoy also the bathing pond in the garden in your mountain ...

I know it literally means "fountain" but I don't think that would work here ....

Thanks, David! This is the most realistic option for a hotel, I think. Regina, thanks for the link for Kneipp unit. It just ended up coming down to picking the more descriptive term in case guests aren't familiar with these. Thank you everyone!

agree

Frosty: More or less - there are several around where I live, on a sort of wander route // Not always, here the streams are usually 'modified' to create a pool, sometimes it's even a hollowed out stone!

3 mins

-> thanks Frosty ... I think "stream" might do it :)

agree

Beatrice A.: to the pool.

15 mins

-> thanks Beatrice :)

agree

BrigitteHilgner: That expression gets a fair number of google hits.

10 hrs

agree

Wendy Streitparth: Probably pool if it is in the hotel

12 hrs

agree

Paul Skidmore: I like stream ... but pool is fine. Fountain is a bit of a red herring here. Brunnen can also mean "well" or "spring" which are closer to the meaning intended here.

13 hrs

agree

Ramey Rieger (X): or even bath?

Kneipp cold water basin

Explanation:
Just another option

The ones around here neither have a fountain nor a stream. People go water treading in about knee-deep cold water.

"Starting from the parking lot at the Ötzidorf, the access trail leads through the forest, passing a Kneipp cold water basin, right to the beginning of the waal trail."
