A small guide to sauna etiquette
The Claudius Therme is a place for rest, recuperation and enjoyment. So that everyone feels completely at ease here, the following guidelines have been proven to be useful:
Reserving loungers is not allowed
Our guests are supposed to be able to rest between their bathing and sauna sessions. If, therefore, you are not currently using a lounger, we request that you remove any personal items from it and not to ‘reserve’ it for yourself. Otherwise our sauna staff will clear any reserved loungers themselves. There are many spacious storage compartments in which you can store your bags and towels.
Aufgüsse
In the Claudius Therme, you can enjoy quiet and relaxing “Aufgüsse” (when hot water is poured onto the rocks in a sauna) every hour. Please refer to the current Aufguss schedule hanging in the sauna area. We request that you go to the sauna with the Aufguss you want in good time in order to avoid interruptions. We regret that you are not allowed to enter a sauna after an Aufguss has started.
Privacy
We would like to offer all guests the chance to find a place of undisturbed peace and tranquillity in each area at any time. We therefore ask you to keep any displays of affection throughout the entire facility to a minimum and to refrain from them completely in the sauna cabins and in the pools.
Swimwear
Wearing swimwear is compulsory in thermal area or bathing area, but is not allowed in the sauna area and especially not in the saunas themselves. Outside the saunas and in the whole facility, you are required to wear a bathrobe or a towel. The floatation pool can also be used with or without swimwear.
A bathrobe must be worn in all areas of the restaurant.
Eating and drinking
Food and drinks are available at the sauna bar, in the restaurant in the bathing area or in the Rose Café in the Rose Terraces. You are not allowed to consume any food or drink you have brought with you in the pool and sauna area.
Undisturbed peace
Our facility is a place of peace and relaxation for you and the other guests. We therefore ask you to help to keep it this way and act accordingly. Out of consideration for the other guests, we ask that you do not use mobile phones and cameras while on the premises. Smoking is permitted only in the designated smoking areas. Pipes and cigars are not allowed.
Healthy saunas
A visit to sauna stimulates the metabolism, detoxifies the body, supplies the skin with blood and purifies it, boosts the immune system and relaxes both muscles and soul. So that a sauna is well tolerated and beneficial, here are some tips for your stay.
A healthy visit to a sauna actually consists of four phases. Foot baths, massages and exercise are useful complements.
