Why the bio-energy sauna is more than just a sauna

What is a bio-energy sauna?

At a time when sustainability and well-being are in focus, the bio-energy sauna represents an innovative and healthy alternative to traditional saunas. The Wellness Hotel Zum Kurfürsten is proud to be able to offer this unique experience.
The bio-energy sauna is a modern variant of the traditional sauna that offers a holistic wellness experience through the combination of heat, moisture and herbs. In contrast to conventional saunas, which are often powered by electrical energy, the bio-energy sauna relies on sustainable energy sources.

Differences to conventional saunas:

  • Temperature: In the bio-energy sauna the temperature is often lower, usually between 50-60°C, making it more comfortable for many people.

  • Humidity: The addition of steam and herbs creates a higher level of humidity.

  • Herbs: Special herbal blends are introduced into the sauna room to provide additional health benefits.

How does a bio-energy sauna work?

In a bio-energy sauna, the heat is usually generated by infrared heaters, which allow the heat to penetrate deeper into the tissue. There is also an evaporator that provides the necessary moisture and the supply of herbal essences.

Technical aspects:

  • Infrared heater: Allow for more even heat distribution and are energy efficient.

  • Evaporator: Responsible for the humidity and the distribution of herbal essences.
