ALL ABOUT SAUNA

A round of sauna

A round of sauna consists of several steps.
Not only warming up is important, cooling down is equally so, and adequate rest between sessions is also essential.

Toilet

Sauna has a stimulating effect on the kidneys, so use the toilet first before starting your sauna round.

Showers

Sauna and hygiene are inseparable.
Showering with soap is mandatory upon entering and each time after using the toilet.
When changing baths, it is also advisable to rinse off well in order to maintain water quality.

Drying

If you start a sauna session with a wet body, your sweat has a harder time getting out.
As a result, you miss much of the desired effect of the sauna, and you also get too hot quickly because the natural process of cooling down your body (by sweating) is impeded.

Foot Bath

Use the hot foot bath regularly.
At the beginning of the sauna session, it helps to slightly pre-heat your body.
The foot bath is also the ideal place to unwind between sauna sessions.

Sauna or steam bath

Listen to your own body and stay in the cabin as long as you feel comfortable, with a minimum of about 5 minutes.
If you have enjoyed your sauna session lying down, it is advisable to sit upright for some time before leaving the sauna room.
In this way, you will avoid dizziness when coming out.

Towel

Always avoid getting sweat on the benches; preferably use a bath towel so that you do not sit on the benches with your bare feet.

Cool

Spend as much time cooling down your body as you do warming up.
Gradual cooling is best done by enjoying the outdoors.
You can take a walk or sit outside for a while and breathe in and out well.
The cooling hose is the next step, followed by a cold shower, the cold plunge pool and/or the swimming pool.
We like to reiterate that rinsing off is mandatory before entering any type of bath.

Rest and relaxation room

During a day of relaxation, you can unwind in one of the many rest and relaxation rooms at a sauna center.
Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited to ensure the peace and privacy of all guests.
We recommend that you rest for at least 15 minutes between sauna sessions.

Restaurant

If you enjoy a snack or a sumptuous meal, you can always visit the spa’s bar or restaurant.
Don’t go into the sauna with an empty (but also not overfull) stomach.
Proper hydration is an absolute necessity.
Excessive alcohol consumption and sauna do not go well together.
