So down with the novel and into the pleasantly warm water for a few laps. Oh, a bubble bench! Wonderful. I opt to linger here for a few minutes before going into the first sauna to sweat.

What a contrast to my icy <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/winter-holiday-germany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">winter walk<\/a> for a few hours down by the lake. In the Finnish sauna at the BLUE Spa, my cold feet are quickly warmed up and my nose thaws again. I love the warm wood scent and the soft crackling of the stove. Beads of sweat trickle down my legs and tickle me. I could almost fall asleep. I have time. But it&#8217;s too hot for me too stay too long, and the hourglass is almost out. I prefer to sit up so that my circulation is activated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25305\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25305 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee.jpg\" alt=\"woman wellness sauna fleesensee\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_wellness_sauna_fleesensee-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finally switching off&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Submerged_%E2%80%93_On_a_Waterbed\"><\/span>Submerged &#8211; On a Waterbed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>But first an (almost) cold shower. But I don&#8217;t dare to go under the water bucket. After cooling off, I feel a bit chilly again, so I head to the relaxation room with the waterbeds. Here, I cuddle up in my bathrobe and the prepared blankets. The light is dimmed and soothing music plays softly. The waterbed under me is very soft and I sink into it. I pay attention to taking deep breaths down into my belly, as I learned yesterday from BLUEfit Guide Marc at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HNU9SZuB3xE&amp;t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atem Fit course<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inhale &#8212;&#8212;- exhale &#8212;&#8212; inhale &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; exhale &#8212;&#8212;&#8212; fall asleep.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25285\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25285\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden.jpg\" alt=\"Fleesensee winter garden hotel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Wintergarden-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If the waterbed is too undulating for you, you can relax on comfortable lounge chairs with a lake view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A loud snore startles me.

I didn&#8217;t notice anything at all. That&#8217;s how I imagine my <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/wellness-at-the-tui-blue-fleesensee-just-feel-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wellness holiday<\/a>. Now I hear the soft music again. What time is it? I hope I haven&#8217;t missed the sauna infusion that I really wanted to join.<\/p>\n<p>I try to get up quietly from my waterbed so as not to disturb the others sleeping, but it&#8217;s like I&#8217;m on a puff pastry. How do you get out of a waterbed, please? The mattress sinks deeply everywhere, no matter where I put my weight. I carefully glance right and then left to see if anyone stirs. When I&#8217;m sure no one&#8217;s watching, I roll right out of the waterbed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wellness_Weekend_to_My_Taste\"><\/span>Wellness Weekend to My Taste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m in luck. The infusion is in 17 minutes. Since I have time, I make my way through the pools of the Kneipp grotto. Brr, the water is cold, but it&#8217;s reviving. I do the rounds until my feet are completely red and I get a little restless, keeping my eye on the sauna entrance so I can secure my spot.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25293\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25293 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee.jpg\" alt=\"woman kneipp pool fleesensee\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/frau_kneippbecken_fleesensee-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Kneipp pool, getting my circulation going.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The organic sauna is filling up slowly but surely, so I prefer to be on my way.

Then we&#8217;ll start in a few seconds. A little about me: I&#8217;m Marc, the BLUEfit Guide at the hotel. If you feel like doing fitness, come to me. To drain the sauna infusion, there will be 3 rounds of 3 ladles. Today, with the fragrance &#8220;Christmas cookies&#8221;. Enjoy the flavour. Another important note: everyone needs to pay attention to their health. If it gets too hot, go out and have a drink. If it&#8217;s not enough for you, you&#8217;re welcome to ask for seconds And finally, since we&#8217;re sweating together, there&#8217;s no need for formality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25313\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25313\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25313 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss.jpg\" alt=\"Fleesensee hotel sauna infusion\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fleesensee_Hotel_Sauna_Aufguss-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For a real wellness weekend, you shouldn&#8217;t miss out on the infusion in the sauna.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There&#8217;s chuckling and a murmur of approval from all sides, and then Marc pours the first ladle of &#8220;Christmas cookies&#8221; on the glowing stove.

Everyone is satisfied and nobody asks for a 4th round. I would be out anyway. I&#8217;m among the first to leave the sauna and cool down in the sauna garden.
