Visited on a Thursday evening around 2230 and made it in time for a sound bath session in the dry…read moresauna. Totally unexpected, but welcoming. Been to a handful of gay saunas/bath houses around the globe and this is by far the best in terms of lay out, amenities, and cleanliness. I want to emphasize the cleanliness though...like there are people constantly cleaning; enough so that I noticed there wasn't scaling accumulating in the pool or mold anywhere and there was a hint of chlorine in the air (to me that's pretty sanitary). There are guys in all shapes, sizes and ages from all over Europe and everyone speaks English (out of respect, at least try to assimilate). However, I do want to point out that I was one of the five colored guys there out of probably 50 guys; take that however you want. There are showers scattered everywhere so if you need to wash off after 'anything' it's easy to find. The layout is pretty cool as well. Upon entry, you collect your towel and slippers and head up to the clean and open locker room. Once undressed and in a towel, you head down a separate stairway to the bar and patio area. Continue down the stairway to the basement and that's where everything is at. I totally recommend this place and will visit again when I have the chance. Last thing to mention, there's a very popular Giro stand out front if you're hungry.

You'll know you've fully been indoctrinated into Germany once you can say you've been to a nude…read moresauna--and actually say you like it. It's winter, it's freezing, you can't feel your toes. Go to the sauna! This one was close to my flat--it's a bit bizarre to get to the sauna part. I wondered around what looked to be a hospital for awhile. I finally found an elevator, stumbled down a low-lit hallway, and found an unmanned desk. I eventually found the guy, bought a day pass (I can't remember how many Euro, but it wasn't outrageously expensive) and checked in. Once inside, there is, eh hem, lots of nudity, giant showers, steam rooms and saunas. They also have lounge chairs where you can hang out after, read a book or listen to some music.

Other than that, it's just women all day errday. I got the exfoliating scrub and massage. It was one of the best add-ons I could have asked for -- especially that massage! I feel like the massages in Germany are much different compared to that of the US? There's somewhat of a physiotherapy approach that you would find more or less at a clinic in the USA. Anyway, you can bring your own bathing suit or go around nekked. It's up to you, it's a judgment free zone and those Germans are very accepting of everyone you know! You're given a locker, and you can choose to get some towels and sandals for a small fee. There's also a shower, a dry sauna, wet sauna, and cooling room. I pretty much did everything I could in the 3 hours paid for. After you are done, dressed, and return your things (if you rented anything that is), you can relax in the front area with some Turkish tea. I slept sooo good that night. Can't wait to go back!

And there's an hourly saunaaufguss in two of the saunas Restaurant is so-so - okay if you find that you need a snack but not good enough that I'd plan ahead of arrival to eat there. Staff generally doesn't speak English and all signs etc. are in German, so as a service to those who don't understand German language and/or German sauna/spa culture here's a quick intro to avoid getting you into awkward situations with staff and other guests. The biggest shock to people from some other cultures will be that saunas are mixed gender and swimwear is not allowed inside them, meaning that people are in the nude. You can cover up in your towel if you're shy, and outside the saunas and in the big pool bathing suits are allowed, but nowhere are they required. In addition there's a section for women only (with a couple of saunas and hot and cold tubs I believe, but naturally I haven't been there). This mixed gender nudity is completely normal in saunas in Germany (and several other civilized countries) and it is not connected to anything sexual. I'll assume you're smart enough to figure out that it's not cool to ogle nude people so I don't have to tell you. In the sauna you're supposed to sit on your towel, and to not place your feet directly on the bench below. A large towel makes this easier. Also, a short physics lesson for first timers: You might think that it's warmest close to the sauna oven, which means on the lowest shelf. But hot air tends to rise, so actually the higher you sit the hotter it gets. If you've never been in a sauna before I recommend starting low. Stay quiet in the saunas, and don't be loud anywhere on the premises. People are here to relax, and loud talk is frowned upon. Also, mobile phones are not allowed so leave them in the locker. I assume the same goes for laptops, cameras and other gadgets and I can't recall ever having seen a piece of electronics in here. Do not go directly from the sauna to the cold tub or pools. Rinse off in the shower first. Yes, it's soo nice to run out of the sauna and jump directly in the cold water, but hundreds of people go in the same water and none of us want to swim around in the others sweat so basic hygiene is to be observed. There a "saunaaufguss" in two of the saunas once per hour. In practical terms this means that a member of the staff will come to the sauna, throw some scented water (which quickly evaporates) on the stones of the sauna oven and swing a towel around to mix up the air. The effect of all this is that you get a whiff of whatever the water is scented with and, most importantly, the higher humidity makes the air feel a lot hotter. The time and scent of the next aufguss is announced on a sign next to the sauna, and it's advisable to be there a few minutes early as it tends to get crowded. Again, if you're new to saunas I highly recommend starting out on the lowest bench. Also, opening the door during the aufguss is frowned upon as it lets hot air out and cold air in so don't leave prematurely unless absolutely necessary. Do not reserve reclining chairs by leaving your towel on them when you're not using them. Or at least that's what the signs say, in actual practice you often see 90% of the chairs empty, yet still with towels and other crap marking them as reserved, which can make it difficult to find a seat, especially if you're two or more people who would like to sit together. It's highly advisable to wear slippers as the floor is slippery in many places. Also, your towel is not unlikely to get drenched so bring an extra and leave it in your locker so you can dry off properly once you're done. Bring a bottle of water as sweating in the sauna can make you thirsty, and bring soap and shampoo as well.
