Relaxing in a hot sauna is a treat for all the senses. While you sit back and enjoy the heat, your body starts working at full speed. The blood vessels expand, circulation is stimulated. Harmful substances are now transported away more quickly. The penetrating heat has a relaxing effect on the muscles; sometimes, tensions dissolve like magic. The interplay with the cold compresses associated with sauna sessions also strengthens the immune system. Finally, a visit to the sauna Sauerland is also perfect for making you feel pleasantly tired and leaving the daily routine behind for a while.
Sauna Sauerland in a 4-star Superior Wellness Hotel in the Hochsauerland region, near Winterberg
The sauna area at the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa includes a total of five saunas, a snow cave, and a relaxation area. The fir wood sauna and the large Finnish sauna provide moments of warmth and well-being while you can look directly out into nature through large windows. It is easy to forget about everyday life for a few moments while you feel the pleasant heat on your body and can see the vibrant greenery. For all sauna enthusiasts who prefer a slightly cooler temperature, the smaller Finnish sauna with milder temperatures is ideal. A steam bath is also waiting to be discovered by you. The difference from the Finnish sauna lies in the temperature and humidity levels. In the steam bath, low temperatures of 40-50 °C prevail; on the other hand, the air humidity is significantly higher. In the sauna, on the other hand, you experience drier heat. The Tecaldarium, the Roman sweat bath, is also an experience for all the senses. Here, various senses are actively stimulated. You can experience color vision, pleasant sounds, and soothing scents. Thanks to the snow cave, you can now also enjoy a cool refreshment in the middle of the sauna. Snow falls here all year round, which serves to provide a pleasant cooling of a different kind. From the relaxation area, you can look directly up into the sky through the pool water. The large viewing window offers fascinating light shows in the relaxation area of the sauna, while you can feel your body relax and get completely at peace. From the sauna area, you also have direct access to the outdoor area, where you can enjoy the moment in the fresh air.

These include a large outdoor infinity pool, a brightly lit indoor pool, the stylish "Zeitlos" relaxation area, the fitness room, the "Haus der Mitte" and our trained spa team, who can pamper you with, for example, a soothing massage. The swimming pool is architecturally reminiscent of a Roman colonnade pool. While you linger in the pleasantly temperate water of the pool, you can also take in the view of the natural surroundings. Giant panoramic windows make this possible. An experience pool for all the senses. The proximity to nature is an important element in the wellness area, which runs like a red thread through it. For this reason, wood is used in many places as the material. In the "Timeless" relaxation area you will experience a very special ambience. Comfortable seating areas invite you to relax while letting your thoughts drift off and listening to soothing natural sounds. If movement is part of your recovery, you can either work out in the fitness room on your own or take part in a course in our "Haus der Mitte". Various activities such as yoga, meditation or Pilates are offered here daily; you can also find the course schedule in the program. Too often, rest also means hunger. In our bathrobe bistro you can always refuel. Delicious snacks – from flammkuchen to fresh salads – are waiting for you.
