Discover the Aufguss Ritual at Kōena Spa: An Invitation to a Sensory Journey

18 March 2024

The word “Aufguss” originates from German, meaning “Infusion”. Far more than a mere sauna session, the Aufguss ritual is a ceremony where sauna masters blend pure molecules, essential oils, and plant extracts to craft a one-of-a-kind experience.
These rituals vary in their performance, ranging from theatrical to more classical approaches, all aimed at immersing participants in deep relaxation.
At Kōena Spa, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of unique Aufguss rituals in the region, each providing a different gateway to a world of well-being and purification.

  • Classic Aufguss: This ritual invites you back to the roots, in complete silence, for an experience of absolute peace and tranquility.
  • Essential Oils Aufguss: An infusion rich in unique aromas that awakens the senses and enriches the thermal experience.
  • Thema Aufguss: Each session tells a story, a theme chosen by the sauna master, accompanied by captivating aromas that stimulate the imagination.
  • Badstu: A purifying practice that leverages the alternation of heat and cold to revitalize body and spirit.
  • Badstu Yoga: The combination of yoga and sauna, designed to purify the mind and respiratory pathways in perfect harmony.
  • Herba: A sensory journey to the heart of the plant kingdom, an immersion into the gentleness of nature.
