Roman steam bath

Be sure to visit the Roman steam bath during your wellness day. In the steam bath you will enjoy a temperature between 43 and 48°C.

The steam bath has a high level of humidity, which has a positive effect on your respiratory system. However, this high humidity also creates a dense mist. As a result, everything is moist and it is important to be careful. We therefore ask you not to bring a towel inside. Upon entering, please use the water hose to rinse the bench before sitting down. Take a seat, relax, and experience the positive effects of the steam bath.

Origin

Historically, the Roman steam bath served several shared purposes. The space functioned both as a bathhouse and as a social meeting place. In addition, a fragrance is added to the steam bath that has a soothing effect on both body and mind. The temperature ranges between 43 and 48°C. A steam bath is therefore very suitable for people who do not tolerate high temperatures and dry air well.

Traditionally, Roman baths were large, ground-level spaces where visitors could sit along the sides on marble benches. This space was also known as the Caldarium. At Thermae 2000, this form has been closely approximated. Due to this design, the temperature in the Roman steam bath remains almost the same throughout the room, as there is only one level. In addition, a fresh lemon fragrance is added in the Roman bath. This has a purifying, degreasing, insect-repelling and air-freshening effect.

Dressed or undressed?

In the saunas in Thermae 2000, you can enjoy on regular days without bathing clothes. During bathing days, swimwear is also compulsory in the saunas. Check the undressed or bathing days before your visit, so you won't be faced with any surprises!
