organic hay wrap/sauna
Explanation:
THE HAY SAUNA
The new beauty farm and the relaxing baths vitalise the mind, the body and the soul. The health centre is open daily from 09.00 to 18.00. A Tyrolean Hay sauna is more than a bunch of dry grass. We admit that alpine plants like Erica and Gentian are perhaps not so famous as Sissi and Cleopatra are. Nevertheless, you will get to know the characteristics of the hay and appreciate them. Just try it! Like the Cleopatra bath, you will lay on a bed, but instead of milk, your entire body enveloped in hay. This treatment provides a beauty and a mental well being.

You can also get a traditional German hay wrap here, a detoxifying treatment where you’re wrapped in wet, organic hay for twenty minutes (a bit itchy, but interesting!) Take a ride up into the mountains in a carriage pulled by a pair of sprightly workhorses and learn the history of the Black Forest. Germany’s foremost chef, Harald Wohlfahrt, has earned an impressive three Michelin stars at Schwarzwaldstube.

Bio sauna:
A bio sauna is a cross between a regular sauna, a tepidarium and a multi-sensory room. Wet and dry heat distribute herbal aromas to the sauna, and the whole experience is made even more relaxing by gently-changing coloured fibreoptic-lights.
