This boat does not come from a wellness catalogue. It has been Marinbastun in Sweden Built – a shipyard that produces floating saunas for the changing Nordic climate.

From there, Wena’s heart project after Portenschmiede came to the Lake Hohenwarte. You do not book a place next to other guests, but the entire sauna boat: sauna, panoramic lounge, deck and roof terrace. Private. Undisturbed. For a total of up to ten guests.

The SaaleSpa is the original private sauna boat on the Thuringian Sea, built by Marinbastun in Sweden. On board, the time-out is all yours – with space for up to ten guests from six years old.
