Nature + Wellness Combo: Hiking the Our Nature Park Before Your AquaNat’Our Swim
If you want a day that feels both active and restorative, a Nature + Wellness Combo can be a smart choice: start with time outdoors, then continue with a visit to AquaNat’Our for swimming, sauna, or fitness. This kind of plan helps you shift from movement to recovery in a natural, enjoyable way.
A well-planned Nature + Wellness Combo is also practical. After a hike, many visitors want a place to shower, swim, unwind, or simply slow down. AquaNat’Our offers that next step, with access rules, hygiene standards, and separate guidance for the pool, sauna, fitness, and slide areas that help guests enjoy the facility safely and comfortably.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to plan the day, what to keep in mind before entering, and how to move smoothly from outdoor activity to indoor relaxation.
Why a Nature + Wellness Combo Works So Well
A Nature + Wellness Combo blends two experiences that naturally support each other.
Hiking gives you fresh air, steady movement, and a mental reset. A swim can help you continue moving without impact, while a sauna visit can create a calmer transition into rest. For some guests, the fitness area may also be part of the day, especially when they want a more structured workout after time outdoors.
This combination works because it balances effort and recovery.
The value of starting outdoors
Beginning with a hike can make the day feel more intentional. Instead of heading straight into an indoor wellness routine, you first spend time moving through the landscape, setting a slower rhythm and making the later swim or sauna feel more rewarding.
The benefit of ending with wellness
After outdoor activity, many people appreciate:
- a thorough shower
- a swim to loosen up
- time in the sauna area for relaxation
- a visit to the fitness area if they want to extend the active part of the day
AquaNat’Our’s clear house and bathing rules make it easier to plan each stage of that visit properly.
How to Plan Your AquaNat’Our Visit After a Hike
A successful Nature + Wellness Combo starts with timing.
Know the admission timing
AquaNat’Our closes entrances 60 minutes before closing time. In addition, the swimming and sauna areas must be vacated 20 minutes before closing.
That matters when you are coming from a hike. If your walk takes longer than expected, arriving too late can shorten your visit significantly. Build in enough time for arrival, changing, showering, and the activity you want to enjoy most.
Expect possible access restrictions
Management may restrict access to the whole facility or parts of it for operational or technical reasons, such as overcrowding or repairs, without refund. Parts of the facility may also be reserved for events, courses, or school/club activities, again without refund.
For visitors planning a full day outdoors and indoors, this is worth keeping in mind. A little flexibility can make the day easier.
Understand the wristband system
At entry, visitors receive a badge wristband.
- Adults are preloaded with €80 credit
- Children from age 6 are preloaded with €20
This credit allows additional purchases in the pool and bistro areas, which must be paid before leaving. If a band is lost, a replacement fee plus €10 applies.
For families or groups combining hiking with a facility visit, this system helps centralize purchases during the day.
What to Do Before Entering the Pool or Sauna Areas
Before you transition from trail to water, take the preparation stage seriously.
Hygiene Comes First
Pool and sauna areas may only be used after thorough personal hygiene. Soap or shower gel may only be used in showers.
This is one of the simplest but most important parts of a Nature + Wellness Combo. After hiking, guests may arrive warm, dusty, or sweaty. A proper shower is not just courteous; it is part of the required standard for using the facility.
Clothing rules to know
For the swimming area, only standard swimwear is allowed.
Key points include:
- Shorts up to knee-length are permitted
- Swim shoes are prohibited in pools
- Underwear beneath swimwear is not allowed
- Burkinis designed for swimming are permitted if the face remains uncovered
For the sauna:
- Sauna use is nude
- Bath towels, robes, or sauna kilts may be worn
For fitness:
- Clean sports shoes and attire are required
- Flip-flops, sandals, and street shoes are not allowed
If you are coming straight from a hike, pack separate items for each zone. That makes your visit smoother and helps you follow the rules without stress.
Rentals available
Towels and robes may be rented at the reception for a fee.
Loss fees are:
- €40 for robes
- €20 for sauna towels
That can be helpful if you want to travel light during the hiking part of your day.
Pool Rules to Keep Your Visit Safe and Comfortable
If swimming is your next step after a hike, a few rules shape how to use the pool areas properly.
General pool guidance
Water balls, soft balls, flotation devices, and swim rings are only allowed in children’s and shallow pools.
Also:
- Non-swimmers must not use deep swimming areas or diving zones
- Pool chairs may not be moved from outdoor areas into the swimming hall
These rules support safety and keep the space organized for everyone.
Diving rules
Diving boards may only be used when staff approves. Diving is at one’s own risk.
Important rules include:
- Only one person may use the board at a time
- Goggles are not allowed
- Pushing, throwing, or swimming under divers is prohibited
For active visitors finishing a hike with a more playful swim session, these are important limits to respect.
Sauna Etiquette After a Hike
For many people, the sauna is the most appealing part of a Nature + Wellness Combo.
The sauna area is intended for relaxation, and considerate behavior is expected at all times.
What is prohibited in rest zones?
In the sauna rest zones:
- Loud talking is prohibited
- Singing is prohibited
- Electronic devices are prohibited
In addition:
- Loungers must be used with a towel or robe
- Reserving loungers is not allowed
- Staff may remove reserved items
This creates a calmer environment, especially after physically demanding outdoor activity.
Health and supervision rules
Guests must inform staff of any health issues before entering the sauna area. If unsure, medical clearance is recommended.
Other important points:
- Sauna infusions are conducted by trained staff only
- Children under 17 are only allowed with an adult
- Use of sauna is nude only
- Smartphones are prohibited; tablets for reading are allowed
- Sauna pond is used at your own risk
If your goal is true recovery after a hike, following these rules helps preserve the atmosphere and your own comfort.
Fitness as Part of Your Nature + Wellness Combo
Not every visitor ends the day with a swim or sauna alone. Some may want to include the fitness area as well.
Fitness rules at a glance
Equipment must be treated with care, and weights returned after use.
Guests must also:
- use towels on all surfaces
- disinfect cardio equipment after use
Fitness access is available only during the posted opening hours, and fitness hours vary according to pool and sauna schedules.
For guests combining hiking with indoor exercise, this makes planning ahead especially important.
Practical Tips for a Smooth Day

- a robe or sauna towel if you plan to use the sauna

Behavior reminders that matter
AquaNat’Our is generally open to anyone who has paid the applicable entrance fee, with some exceptions. Children under 9 must be accompanied by an adult guardian, and lifeguards do not supervise children.

In addition, chewing gum is prohibited throughout the facility.
Locker and belongings reminder
Clothes and belongings left 30 minutes after closing or left in lockers after closing will be secured by staff and kept in the lost and found for 3 months.
Management is not liable for valuables, including items in lockers. Guests are responsible for safely storing tickets, locker keys, or wristbands, and loss due to negligence remains the guest’s responsibility.
If you are heading in after a long hike, it is wise to simplify what you carry and store your items carefully.
