Saunas

Picture a serene oasis where the warmth of the sun and the scent of freshly mowed hay come together to embrace you in a unique wellness experience.

In this sauna, we blend ancient medicine with contemporary comfort, creating a place where healing begins with the essence of nature.

This natural wonder unveils its secret as soon as the heat begins its work, releasing coumarin, vitamins, tannins, and essential oils with priceless benefits.

Farmers long ago discovered the soothing properties of hay. After a day of toil in the fields, many would rest in hay-filled barns, awakening refreshed, energetic, free from muscle fatigue, thanks to their strengthened immune system.

A session in the hay sauna not only offers relief for conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and rheumatism but also stimulates circulation and metabolism.

As an added bonus, your skin will undergo a true rejuvenation.

A visit to our hay sauna at Waer Waters is a complete wellness experience for both body and mind, where healing begins with the subtle scent of nature and the timeless power of hay.

Go back in time, take a seat in the Arabic-inspired hammam and feel the beneficial effect of the moist steam on your skin. The heat from the hammam will embrace you like a soft blanket and allow your body and mind to enjoy deep relaxation. Due to the healing effect, hammams are also known as ‘silent doctors’.

The infrared sauna relaxes your muscles and relieves any pain in your joints. Infrared saunas have been increasing in popularity over the past few years. In contrast to the traditional Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna works using (invisible) infrared radiation heat that is generated with different types of heaters. What makes infrared heat different is that the heat is transferred to the skin without heating the surrounding air. An infrared sauna is therefore not actually a sauna, but rather a radiation heat cabin.

The hot sauna has a beneficial effect at 90°C and is the hottest sauna at Waer Waters. You can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire complex in a dry, pleasant heat.

The authentic Kelo sauna, built with priceless, centuries-old, silver-grey wood from spruce logs, with its mild radiation of heat is without a doubt Waer Water’s most impressive project. Due to the ingenious structure, you feel an optimal sauna effect on all sides of your body.

Bathe in warm air with natural salt from the Himalayan mountains. When this salt is heated, minerals are released that ionise the air and purify your body and mind. This sauna is especially suited for people with bronchitis, asthma and hay fever. Himalayan salt has a detoxifying effect on your entire being.

Aufguss is the international term for the ritual of pouring water on a sauna stove. A sauna master uses water, ice and essential oils and pours them onto the stove. With a towel, he fans the air to agitate the insulating layer of air around your body. This gives you a goosebumps moment. Steam containing water and various essential oils blows away the insulating layer of air around your body. The ‘Aufgussmeister’ guides you throughout the entire session.

Saunas originated in Finland. The word sauna refers to a room with hot air where people go to sweat. The temperature is high and the humidity is as low as possible. A splash of water on the hot stones creates a heat boost. The hot water particles quickly spread throughout the space and then drop onto your skin, making it sweat profusely. This heat is considered very pleasant. Löyly means the effect after pouring water onto the stove.

A loft sauna is a sauna that is heated to 80°C by a fire. This sauna differs from other saunas due to its architecture; it has different floors.

A bio sauna has a manageable temperature of 60°C and is therefore the perfect start for a sauna visitor with no prior sauna experience. In the bio sauna, the air humidity plays a prominent role—more so than in a Finnish sauna. With a temperature of 55°C to 60°C and a humidity of 40 to 60%, bio saunas are easier to handle and more pleasant than a dry sauna where the temperatures are much higher and the humidity lower.

Caldarium, also called ‘calidarium’, is Latin for ‘hot room’. This room has a humid and warm climate with a humidity of 100% and a temperature of around 45°C. No extreme heat, just pleasant relaxation. Since the body warms up slowly, this room is often used as preparation for the high temperature of the sauna. Even though the temperature in the caldarium cannot be compared to the intense heat of a sauna, it does create a lovely, relaxing sensation.

In the Eventsauna you will enjoy, besides the countless experiences, a breathtaking panoramic view of the Re-Energize zone. No fewer than 130 guests can sit in the sauna cabin. The name already gives it away; this sauna is only accessible during sessions.
