Sauna, steam bath and rooftop pool – relaxation and enjoyment for all guests
Wellness serves to relax the body and mind and of course all guests should feel at ease in our wellness area. This applies in particular to the sauna and steam bath. To make it a pleasure for everyone to stay and relax there, we would like to ask all guests to follow a few rules. Please read our “Sauna Guide” and behave accordingly. Thank you very much.
These tips will help you to create the perfect Black Forest wellness experience.
Before the sauna session
- If you are still very cold, it is best to warm up in the pool beforehand. This will prepare you better for the heat of the sauna.
- Be sure to shower beforehand – for hygienic reasons on the one hand, and to remove the greasy film from the skin and make sweating easier on the other.
- Dry off well before the sauna – this also makes the skin sweat better.
Taking a sauna
- Enter the sauna unclothed and the steam bath with a towel wrapped around you.
- Psst. The sauna and steam bath are for relaxation. Please be quiet accordingly.
- Please do not sit on the wood in the sauna with bare skin. Place a towel underneath. You will find enough in your vacation apartment.
- If you do not feel well and feel dizzy, for example, please go outside.
- A session in the Finnish sauna and steam bath lasts between eight and a maximum of fifteen minutes.
After sweating
- The best thing to do after a sauna is to go out into the fresh air on the balcony. The healthy Black Forest air cools your body inside and out and provides you with plenty of fresh oxygen.
- Enjoy a refreshing cold shower afterwards.
- After a sauna session, the body wants to rest. Give it a break of around ten minutes in our relaxation room.
- Only drink after the last round.
Or is it better not to go to the sauna?
- Do not sauna on an empty stomach or immediately after eating.
- Please do not use the sauna if you feel ill.
- Are you generally weak or do you have a chronic illness? If in doubt, please check with your family doctor beforehand whether you can use the sauna without any concerns.
Schwarzwald Wellness
Hot comfort: the Finnish sauna
A Finnish sauna is a must for your stay in our vacation apartment in the Black Forest with wellness oasis. You’ll work up a sweat right away – and that’s exactly what you want. At 95 degrees Celsius and very dry air, the body activates the cooling system and produces a lot of coolant through sweat. This is good for the body for several reasons and is pure relaxation:
- Cell metabolism is stimulated, metabolic products are removed more quickly and the body is detoxified.
- The extreme heat is a natural signal for the body to slow down and relax.
- The skin is rejuvenated by stimulating cell regeneration and removing dead skin cells. The skin also becomes more receptive to care products.
- this also applies to your hair, which is why a hair treatment after a sauna is particularly effective.
- Regular sauna sessions also strengthen the immune system and keep the blood vessels supple.

Black Forest wellness for your muscles: the steam bath
In the steam bath, the water comes less from the inside than from the outside – No wonder with 100 percent humidity and 55 degrees Celsius. These artificial tropical conditions were already appreciated by many cultures in ancient times, including the Romans and Ottomans.
But a steam bath is the perfect wellness program for an active Black Forest vacation. As many studies have shown, the humid heat can even prevent muscle soreness. It penetrates deep into the muscles and thus ensures rapid regeneration. So whether after long hikes, mountain bike tours or the first kilometers on the slopes: Thanks to the steam bath, you won’t have to deal with the annoying pulling and twitching the next day. And a short break in the steam bath in our spa area also has other positive effects:
- The immune system is stimulated.
- By moistening the airways, you can prevent colds and other respiratory infections.
- The skin is cleansed and the complexion improves.
- Subsequent alternating showers strongly stimulate the blood circulation and thus promote a relaxing effect.
