Aroma sauna „Tharandter Wald“ (Tharandt Forest)
Besides the Saxon Switzerland and the Dresden Heath, the Tharandt Forest is the most important local recreation area for the people of Florence on the Elbe. In the past, plenty of wood and charcoal came from there for the royal seat. From the 19th century onwards, the area became a model for sustainable forestry. And something else makes it interesting as a name giver: The most famous center of Saxony is located right in the middle of it: at the rock Diebskammer, which was used as a shelter by several robber captains and their gangs in the 17th and 18th century. In the aroma sauna “Tharandter Wald” it smells at 70 degrees Celsius (currently at least 80 degrees Celsius) not only of wood, leaves and needles. Those who sit in the wheelchair accessible cabin also have the feeling of sweating between untreated tree trunks in the middle of the forest.
