Alfen Saunaland

About

Alfen Saunaland is the sauna landscape of the Alfsee holiday park near Rieste, open to day visitors as well as campers. Five sauna rooms run from a two-storey Finnish sauna to an earth sauna of old timber, a bio sauna and a steam bath. A swimming house, outdoor rest areas and a plunge pool sit between them.

Good to know

• Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
• Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
• Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
• Restaurant on site, so long sessions are the design. Food is part of the visit rather than a stop on the way home.
• Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
• Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
• Women-only sauna: the venue has a women's side or room, or runs set women-only sessions.
• Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
• Nude sauna: some or all sessions are taken without swimwear.
