Awaken From Winter With Aufguss at KurSpa
As the seasons shift, Aufguss offers a powerful way to release the heaviness of winter and welcome spring feeling lighter, warmer, and renewed. Available daily from March until May, this authentic European sauna ritual invites the body to detox gently while restoring balance through heat, steam, and breath.
What is Aufguss?
Aufguss, from the German word “infusion”, is a traditional multisensory wellness experience that takes place inside a sauna, using a hot, wet towel to raise the temperature. The Aufguss sauna ritual has been expanded upon over the years to include music, lighting, and dance, with Aufgussmeisters performing competitively around the world.
Who performs Aufguss?
Each ritual is led by a trained Aufgussmeister, who skillfully guides the experience by circulating steam throughout the sauna. Through rhythmic towel movements, airflow is increased, allowing warmth and aromatherapy to envelop the space. The combination of heat, steam, and essential oils encourages deep relaxation while creating a grounding, meditative atmosphere for body and mind.
Why turn up the heat?
The Classic Sauna is the warmest room in our KurSpa, sitting at 90°C and rising up by 10°C with the Aufguss ritual. The added heat experienced during this sensational ritual increases adrenaline, leading to an elevated release of endorphins. These “feel good” chemicals, once released, can induce a profound state of deep relaxation.
A Timeless European Wellness Tradition
Rooted in centuries of European bathing culture, Aufguss offers an intentional approach to heat therapy. Whether you are discovering sauna rituals for the first time or returning for a familiar experience, this restorative practice invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with calm.
What are the benefits of Aufguss & saunas?
While the sauna experience can wash mental stress away, sitting in a heated environment has multiple physical health benefits too. Safe heat exposure through this authentic experience, can trigger the same benefits of a light workout by challenging your cardiovascular system and leading to a boost in heart health. The soothing heat from the sauna also gently opens pores, allowing for the natural release of unwanted toxins from our body.
Experience Aufguss This Spring
Aufguss sessions are available daily throughout March and April at KurSpa, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy this authentic European sauna ritual during their spring stay.
