Visit Website final 17. – 20.03.27 The qualifying rounds for the finals will take place at four different thermal spas across Europe. At each location, the best sauna masters will qualify for the finals at the Kristall Therme Kochel am See. In addition, the third- and fourth-place finishers in the qualifiers will still have the chance to qualify for the final through the play-offs. Our Herzogstand sauna is the venue for the finals. The sauna can accommodate 300 guests and offers the ideal setting: a view of the lake and the Herzogstand—Kochel’s “local mountain.” The sauna’s unique feature is the two illuminated stoves in the center. The benches are arranged so that guests sit around the stoves and have a direct view of the sauna attendants performing the “Aufguss” competition, as well as the panoramic view in the background, made possible by the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Top performers Unique Infusions Since 2017, we have been searching for the best freestyle infusion master in Europe at the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss." At the competition, held at the Kristall Therme Kochel am See, 16 stars of the infusion scene (ten women and ten men) compete for the coveted Kristall Trophy. Competition of Sauna Masters Spectacular waving techniques, dance choreographies, and a lot of passion for a unique infusion performance are always included. At the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss," the focus is not only on the competition but also on the development of techniques, learning from each other, and inspiration through exchange with other infusion masters. unlimited Creativity Each competition infusion lasts 15 minutes and consists of 4 rounds. In the first two rounds, each sauna master chooses a song to which both must perform. In the 3rd round, the two must cooperate. Before the infusion, they have some preparation time to choose a song together and create a choreography. The 4th round is the final battle: here, it’s all or nothing. Both must freestyle to music they do not know. Breathtaking acrobatics at over 80°C make the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss" a unique extreme sports event.
