Farewell with Far Eastern Relaxation Culture
Before the craftsmen arrive at the Jena leisure pool, the sauna area will once again be transformed into an Asian oasis of well-being. The themed night “Hanami” is based on the traditional Japanese cherry blossom festival, which marks the beginning of spring in the Far East. Accordingly, the entire facility will be decorated with matching spring-like elements. The facility’s gastronomic offerings will also be specially tailored to Japanese cuisine and Asian specialties on this evening.
Masterful Show Infusions
A special highlight of the evening is the planned infusion ceremonies. The organizers have hired Oliver Kleinmanns, the reigning German Champion in this discipline, for the event. A total of five special show infusions are on the program. These will be characterized not only by special waving techniques but also supported by targeted music and light effects. Far Eastern sauna rituals round off the experience and are intended to ensure deep relaxation for the guests. As this is the last major event in the sauna area before the upcoming construction phase, a high level of visitor interest is expected.
Background: The GalaxSea in Jena
The GalaxSea leisure pool, operated by Stadtwerke Jena, has been the central hub for swimmers, families, and wellness enthusiasts in the “Lichtstadt” (City of Light) for many years. It is located in the Burgau district and is optimally connected to the city’s infrastructure. Drivers can reach the pool easily via the Bundesstraße 88 (B88). Those using public transport can take tram lines 1, 4, and 5 directly to the “Freizeitbad” stop. The upcoming renovation work is part of a necessary maintenance concept to secure the technical infrastructure and the attractiveness of the facility for the future.
Prevention and Health: Regular sauna visits strengthen the cardiovascular system and train the immune system. Especially the change between intense heat and subsequent cooling in the plunge pool or under a cold shower massively stimulates blood circulation. Experts recommend planning at least 20 to 30 minutes of rest between individual sauna sessions of about 10 to 15 minutes to avoid overstraining the circulation. Drinking sufficient water or unsweetened tea before and after sweating is also essential.
