Another great story with a spa theme. I think it would be fun to visit a spa like this the next time I am in Germany. Great story!

Awesome story.. I felt I was right there with them.

...a 100 °C sauna? That's the boiling point of water, 212 °F! At 180 °F water can cause 3rd degree burns, so a seat heated to 212 °F would do some serious damage. Another sauna was 158 °F—that seems too high too, but a seat at 158 °F would also give a serious burn.

The recommendation now is 80–90°C (176–194°F) with moderate humidity, but in many saunas today the temperature exceeds 100°C (212°F), at least at the beginning.

Is their a part 2 to this?
