Saunas and Temperatures
The complex offers four distinct sauna areas. The Finnish infusion sauna and the KELO log cabin sauna reach 85–95 °C at 5–10 % humidity. The herbal sauna, featuring a copper brew kettle, operates at 65–75 °C and around 50 % humidity. The steam bath runs at 45–55 °C with 100 % humidity, while the yurt sits at a gentle 35–45 °C. All infusions are carried out using pure essential oils.
Special Spaces
The authentic Mongolian yurt seats 10 reclining chairs and serves as a relaxation and social space. The so-called Rheinzimmer (Rhine Room) is a nostalgically styled lounge decorated with local imagery and vintage books on the romance of the Rhine. The KELO log cabin sauna is crafted from the wood of ancient pine trees — "Kelo" roughly translates as "old pine."
Outdoor Area and Dining
The sauna park spans 4,000 m² and features a natural pond as well as a sun-bathing lawn complete with hammocks. The outdoor area also includes a bucket drench shower and cold-water showers. The restaurant is open from 12:00 to 18:00 during NRW school holidays and on weekends; in warm weather, hours extend to 10:00–20:00. Outside of the summer holidays, a self-service vending area is available.
