Sauna & Sauna rules

Sauna keys and accessories

The sauna key including infusion vessel is available in the entrance area. If you want to use the sauna, please take the key including accessories and prepare the sauna according to your wishes. While the sauna is heating up (approx. 30-40 minutes), lock up and take the key with you (this will prevent someone else from entering the sauna in the meantime). After a relaxing sauna session, switch everything off, lock the sauna and leave the key and accessories in the entrance area. The next person will be happy.
If the key is already in use, please wait until the guest has finished their sauna session.

Sauna oven

Switch on the oven as follows:

1. First press the second “On/Off” switch on the left to switch on.
2. Press the first switch on the left (clock symbol).
3. Set the temperature with the control on the right.

At the end of your sauna session, please switch the heater off again using the second “On/Off” switch.

Infusion

Please take water with you from the apartment and then empty the bucket again and place it in the entrance area (risk of frost in winter).
Fragrance oils: 10 drops to 1 liter of water.

Cleaning

The sauna is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by us once a week. If required, a bottle of disinfectant is available in the anteroom!

Cleanliness

We ask you to keep the sauna clean so that the next guests can also enjoy a relaxing sauna session.

Sauna rules and tips

Take a shower

Showering helps to remove the oily film on the surface of the skin, which prevents the pores from opening properly. Afterwards, be sure to dry yourself off, as dry skin sweats faster than damp skin. And sweating is what this is all about.

You don't have to prove anything to anyone

Sauna beginners in particular, and especially men, sometimes develop too much ambition and then sit on the highest sweat bench for ages. For the inexperienced, this can even lead to circulatory collapse, so don't do it. It is generally more effective to sweat briefly and heavily on the upper benches, but you need to get used to this slowly, which leads us to the next point.

Get used to it slowly

You should also get your circulation used to the upright position when you get out and sit on the lower benches for a few minutes, where it is less hot. Sitting is generally better in the sauna than lying down because the skin pores open up more easily.

Give yourself hot-cold

Like Kneipp therapy, sauna bathing is useless without a quick change of temperature. Of course, this is great in winter and especially if the sauna area of the spa has an outdoor area. Caution: If you suffer from high blood pressure, it is better not to cool down too quickly, as the sudden vasoconstriction can lead to a further rise in blood pressure! Note: It's best to go out into the fresh air after your sauna session - that way your lungs get enough oxygen again and you also cool your airways.

Take your time

A sauna session should last 12 to 15 minutes, allowing a maximum of five minutes for the infusion. Two to three such sessions are ideal. In between, you should take a rest period of at least 20 minutes.

Do it more often

If you can manage it, try to fit in a sauna session once or twice a week.

Drink a lot

To counteract the loss of fluids, you need to drink a lot. The best time to do this is before your first sauna session. Caution: Drinking between sauna sessions reduces the detoxifying effect - so you detoxify less. This means that it is best to drink as much mineral water or highly diluted fruit juices as possible before and after the sauna!

Don't eat too much

Especially if you suffer from circulatory problems, you should not go to the sauna on a full stomach. This could overtax your body.

Leave the sauna

If you feel unwell, dizzy or show similar symptoms, leave the sauna immediately!
