With a view to maximizing the benefits of sauna bathing, we have collected some tips and principles that have a direct impact, especially health, on sauna users.
- Health First: Use the sauna at your own risk. Consult a doctor if you have any doubts about safe sauna use. The facility is not responsible for health effects related to sauna use. It is your responsibility to ensure your health permits sauna use.
- Avoid Sauna After Eating: Do not use the sauna immediately after a heavy meal.
- Shower Before Entering: Take a thorough shower before entering the sauna and dry your body completely.
- Remove Swimwear: Remove swimwear and wrap yourself in a towel. Most textiles are chemically dyed, and in the sauna’s heat, these chemicals can be released, creating a harmful mix with chlorine from the pool and body sweat. This can create a toxic environment and irritate your skin. For your health and the health of others, be nude in the sauna.
- Remove Jewelry: Take off all jewelry—rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, etc. These items can heat up quickly and cause burns.
- Leave Plastic Items Outside: Leave flip-flops and other plastic items outside the sauna. Plastics can emit harmful chemicals in the sauna.
- Warm Your Feet: Warm your feet in hot water if they are cold before entering the sauna.
- Use a Towel: Place a towel under your entire body (including your feet) when sitting in a dry sauna. No part of your body should touch the wooden surfaces directly.
- Clean Seating in Steam Rooms: When using a steam room, rinse the seat and the area under your feet with the available hose before and after use.
- Avoid Cosmetics: Do not use cosmetics, oils, or other substances that might stain the sauna wood. Use only the products provided by the staff according to the Saunamaster’s instructions.
- Allow Adequate Time: Spend at least 1.5 hours for your sauna session. It’s meant for relaxation, so don’t rush. For optimal benefits, complete at least 2, ideally 3 cycles of heating (sauna) – cooling (shower, pool) – resting. Limit time in the sauna to no more than 15 minutes per session. If you were lying down, sit for a moment before leaving.
- Avoid Pouring Water on Stones: Do not pour water on the sauna heater stones without permission from the staff and other sauna users.
- No Items on the Heater: Do not place any objects near or on the sauna heater.
- Clean Up After Yourself: Take with you everything you brought into the sauna.
- Respect Others’ Comfort: Do not use phones or recording devices in the sauna area.
- Avoid Sauna During Rituals: Do not enter the sauna during a sauna ritual.
- Start from Lower Benches: If you are using the sauna for the first time, start on the lower benches and gradually move to higher ones where the temperature increases.
- Age Requirements: You may use the sauna if you are 18 or older. Individuals under 18 may use the sauna only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for ensuring the minor follows the sauna rules and guidelines. The parent or guardian decides if the minor can use the textile-free zone.
- Silence in the Sauna: The sauna area is a place of quiet and relaxation. Keep your voice low and avoid conversations that might disturb others.
- Respect Nudity: Respect your own and others’ nudity in the sauna area. Report any inappropriate behavior to the staff.
- After Sauna Use:
- rinse sweat from your body with warm water,

- after showering, if possible, use a cooling pool or ice cave to cool down completely,
- rest for at least as long as you were in the sauna, preferably lying down,

Sauna rituals

How is sauna with a saunamaster different from a regular stay in a sauna?
The main purpose of staying in the sauna is to warm up the body and get psychophysical effects for our body. If you want to get them, you should stay in the sauna for about 15 minutes and in the right conditions. Most people are not aware of how to get this goal and therefore staying in the sauna with a saunamaster gives us, in addition to effectively heating the body, also the opportunity to educate the correct sauna.
Is it necessary to prepare for sauna with a saunamaster in a special way?
Absolutely not. During the ritual, you can always leave the sauna. Just be prepared to follow proper sauna etiquette, which means staying in the sauna wrapped in towels. This should not be misinterpreted as being naked in the sauna. We are wrapped in towels.
The saunamaster will certainly ensure that sauna rules are followed during the shared sauna session, so you should mentally prepare for this aspect.
