Love a good cooldown after your sauna? We think it’s a must and the summer is the perfect time to learn how to do it right!

A proper cooldown is an intrinsic part of a healthy sauna day. The number one rule is: spend just as long in as out of the sauna. So, fifteen minutes in the sauna means a fifteen-minute cooldown afterwards.
We have broken it down into three simple steps for you:
- Leave the sauna in your spa slippers (and possibly your bathrobe/towel) and have a little stroll around outside. Take a few deep breaths in and out because after your sauna round your alveoli are fully open so oxygen is more easily absorbed.
- Next, have a cold shower, start by immersing the parts of your body that are furthest away from your heart and work your way up to your heart.
- Only then should you go into the cold plunge pool and when you do, don’t forget to splash water over or fully immerse your head.
It’s not a good idea to head back into the sauna straightaway. Have a short break and rest for a while.
At Thermae Boetfort, the cold plunge pool is next to the Mine sauna and the cold shower with the most beautiful view is the one next to the Ice Cave sauna. A cooldown with views of the castle, who would say no that?
These messages are definitely worth a quick read!
