The Sauna Landscape
The large sauna landscape of the Taunus Thermal Baths awaits you with a great
variety of attractions.
Fans of the Finnish sauna now have the opportunity of taking a sauna in an
original Finnish blockhouse sauna, designed as in the country of its origin, at
the Taunus Thermal Baths sauna landscape. These saunas have a unique
construction principle based on the unconventional Finnish sauna philosophy.
Four Finnish experts have put all of their creativity into these blockhouse
saunas that are situated in a charming, faithfully reproduced Finnish sauna
landscape at our thermal baths. This is as close as you can get to having a
holiday in Finland without actually going there. The experts have really thought
of everything for these blockhouse saunas during the construction of the thermal
baths so that the original Finnish sauna pleasure with all of its health
advantages is a pleasant relaxation in the sauna landscape.
Building in a way that promotes good health is an art that not everyone can
master. In a sauna landscape, this involves the smallest details. Wood is not
all the same and not every heater is the same. Both must be exactly coordinated
so that a heat benefiting both the respiration and the skin is produced. In the
Finnish sauna, a climate is created that facilitates easier, more pleasant and
quicker sweating. The even and well-dosed circulatory stimulation in the Taunus
Thermal Baths sauna landscape supports an improvement of the physical
constitution. The sauna houses in the sauna landscape are built of hand-finished
Finnish pine roundwood trunks. There is no artificial ventilation. In addition,
there is no artificial insulation, as in the German saunas within the thermal
baths. There also are no vapour barriers, which ensures a constant exchange of
the inside air with the outside air through the Finnish roundwood trunks. This
allows these saunas in the sauna landscape to breathe while the wood radiates a
pleasant fragrance. This is an organic sauna pleasure that gives the body and
mind a special sense of wellbeing. Discover and experience the fascination of
this original Finnish sauna in the sauna landscape of our thermal baths.
In addition to the blockhouse saunas with the health-promoting pouring of
water onto hot rocks, our sauna landscape has a special little Taunus Thermal
Baths sauna landscape – just for women. Even if the appeal of the large, mixed
sauna landscape in the thermal baths can hardly be outdone – the women's sauna
simply has a special atmosphere. This is where women can relax by themselves.
The great demand for a separate sauna landscape in the thermal baths was the
deciding factor for designing this area in a generous and beautiful way. This
small women's sauna area offers two saunas with different temperatures, a small
sauna yard, a cosy resting area, as well as some tanning lights to create an
intimate character. It goes without saying that the women have their own plunge
bath in the Taunus Thermal Baths sauna landscape as an additional pleasure after
the sauna session. On the connected roof terrace – just for women – they can
also enjoy a sunny hour in the open in summer.
Feeling the soothing power of heat means that it is good for the body and
warms the soul. Eleven different saunas invite you to active relaxation in
your leisure time. The even and well-dosed circulatory stimulation n in the
saunas of these thermal baths improves your physical constitution.

Distilled water is steamed here and emitted through this opening to the
surroundings. A sieve with herbs covers this opening. The steam absorbs the
active substances from the herbs and distributes them in the sauna.
Some of the herbs are:
Chamomile, rosemary, sage, thyme, peppermint, St. John's wort, lavender and
arnica.
Aroma Sauna approx. 95-105 degrees C
By pouring water and essential oils onto the hot stones of the sauna heater,
the humidity in the sauna room is abruptly increased. The result is additional
heat stimulation for the skin of the sauna visitor. The steam is distributed
throughout the sauna room by our bath attendants waving or flapping a towel.
This creates an intensification of the heat stimulation
Crystal Sauna approx. 95-105 degrees C
The steam in the air of the sauna (humidity) must be so low that water from
the sweating skin can evaporate, which leads to the cooling of the skin. This
is why the sauna is also called a dry hot-air bath.
Yin and Yang Sauna approx. 95-105 degrees C
According to the teachings of Chinese Taoism, yin and yang are the two basic
forces in the cosmos. These two opposites are interdependent and complement each
other.
Yin, "the shady side of the sunlit mountain," represents the
inner world, cold, paleness, emptiness, darkness, night, the quiet and the
feminine.
In contrast to it, yang is "the sunny side of the mountain"
and is associated with the outside world, abundance, heat, reddening, the day,
brightness, activity and the masculine.
Yin is water, yang is fire. Yin and yang are visible in all activities of
human beings and nature. This also applies to the sauna session. Here hot and
cold are interdependent and complement each other because only through the
opposing nature of the employed means can the sauna session completely develop
its effects.
By pouring water and essential oils on the hot stones of the sauna heater,
the humidity in the sauna room is abruptly increased. The result is additional
heat stimulation for the skin of the sauna visitor. The steam is distributed
throughout the sauna room by our bath attendants waving or flapping a towel.
This creates an intensification of the heat stimulation.

Mental Sauna approx. 85-95 degrees C Women's Sauna
The adjective mental summarizes the phenomena associated

Feng Shui Sauna 95-105 degrees C
Translated literally, Feng Shui means "wind and water." The
wind symbolises the power and energy of the heaven and water is the force of the
earth.
One of the goals in Feng Shui is to create harmony. It expresses itself by
bringing colours, materials and forms, meaning everything that surrounds human
beings, into a balanced relationship. This is called a dynamic
equilibrium. By pouring water and essential oils on the hot stones of the
sauna heater, the humidity in the sauna room is abruptly increased. The result
is additional heat stimulation for the skin of the sauna visitor. The steam is
distributed throughout the sauna room by our bath attendants waving or flapping
a towel. This creates an intensification of the heat stimulation.
