TIPS FOR TAKING THE SAUNA
• Take your time for your visit to the sauna! You need at least two hours to
enjoy the sauna.
• Avoid exertion, rushing and stress! Do not visit the sauna hungry or with a full
stomach! Two hours should have passed between the sauna and your last
large meal.
• Take a cleansing shower and dry yourself before entering the sauna. Dry
yourself thoroughly before entering the cabin.
• Only enter the sauna when you are warm! A warm foot bath beforehand
will also promote sweating.
• Never enter the sauna dressed, as the heat should reach your skin unhindered.
This also prevents sweat from remaining on your body and prevents
skin irritation.
• Avoid physical exertion! Any activity such as gymnastics can lead to unnecessary
strain on the circulation and breathing.
• We recommend between 10 and 15 minutes per sauna session depending
on your personal well-being. Leave the sauna if you no longer feel well.
• Cool down after the sauna session! Breathe deeply in the fresh air and then
rub yourself with cold water or ice: first the arms and legs, then the back
and torso - from the extremities to the heart - and finally the head. To cool
down completely, you can use the plunge pool. Before going into the plunge
pool always take a cooling shower!
• After cooling down, a light warming of the feet with a warm foot bath and
putting on socks will have a soothing effect on the whole body.
• Take a break and relax! Between sauna sessions we recommend a rest period
of at least 30 minutes.
• Repeat the sauna session no more than three times. Even in summer a
visit to the sauna is good for your health, strengthens your immune system
and has a cooling effect on the body.
• Ask our competent staff for more information. They will be happy to advise
you on the treatments on offer and on the effects of the sauna and the daily
infusion programme.
• After the sauna, drink enough water/tea again.
