Ice crasher
Rub your body with crushed ice (only in the shower area, please), rinse with the cold splash shower and your skin will start to tingle. This tingling sensation signals the body’s revitalisation boost. At the same time, your circulation is stimulated and your immune system strengthened. This process can be repeated as often as you like. Crushed ice is also great for infusions!

Showering
Before the first sauna session and also as a crowning finale afterwards. Proper showering is part of it. In the sauna village, there are sports showers, splash showers and a Kneipp hose available.
