Sauna landscape

A total of 11 different saunas and a snow room cover the entire spectrum of sweating on over 5,000 square meters, both indoors and in the spacious sauna garden.
Relaxing between sauna sessions is just as important as sweating. The spacious sauna garden offers a wide range of options for this: Swimming pools and whirlpools are available both indoors and outdoors, as are a variety of relaxation zones such as a relaxation house with heated loungers (39°) and meditative relaxation music or the Finnish country-style relaxation house. And guests are well catered for with food and drinks in the sauna's own restaurant.

Leisure pool
Play and fun on over 3,500 square meters, 1,400 square meters of which is water alone: that's what the H2O leisure pool offers. Two slides, each 146 meters and 110 meters long respectively, provide plenty of action, the wave pool offers a real surf feeling and the torrent and wave channel offer fast-paced water fun. Guests can relax in the warm whirlpool or with one of the numerous water massages. A large number of loungers are available to visitors around the individual water pools, inviting them to relax and linger under the many palm trees and green plants.

The H2O offers all sporty visitors a 25-metre sports pool, a 1-metre and 3-metre diving platform and a heated 25-metre outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is also easily accessible from the inside via a swimming channel, whatever the weather.
