Aufguss is a guided ritual where an attendant pours scented water onto the stones and fans the steam with a towel. It arrived from Central Europe, where the German garden spas run it as a scheduled programme, and it is now standard at urban bathhouses too. Sessions run to a timetable, so check it before booking.
In Berlin, 6 of the curated saunas fit this cut. See the full Berlin guide for every venue, or keep scrolling for just the aufguss saunas.
