Sauna marathon - how does it work?

The sauna marathon is a sauna with friends in the middle of the old town.

For the sauna marathon, mobile saunas and hot water pools were set up in the town of Schaffhausen (Switzerland) at particularly beautiful locations such as the historic old town, on the banks of the Rhine, at Schaffhausen's landmark Munot and in the Rhybadi. Historic old town fountains were heated for bathing. The public indoor pools and saunas, hotel facilities and selected private facilities were also open.

25 locations, over 40 saunas and 20 warm water pools await the enthusiastic participants. We are looking forward to it!

Contrary to the name of the event, the sauna marathon is not about speed, but about sociability and enjoyment. Similar to an orienteering race, each team should visit as many locations as possible.

Sauna with a view: a unique experience!

Thanks to numerous partnerships, the second sauna marathon was also a culinary journey and participants could look forward to great infusions and ceremonies!
