  • Famous for its pool in the beautiful inner courtyard. Many guys said this was the most beautiful gay sauna they had ever visited. It’s definitely not the bashful, dark and shabby sauna that many gay saunas happen to be.
    Sunday afternoons had been legendary in the 1990s, with guys from Belgium, France, Netherlands and other countries travelling just for this sauna. Much quieter now.
    Entrance: 19 € (14 € up to 28 years)
