The green light has finally been given for public sweating: On Sunday, April 7, the Plateau Blo sauna raft anchors at the Esplanade in Altmünster for the first time. There will be saunas and discussions. Everyone who sticks to the sauna rules is welcome. 

First storm damage, then a lack of permits: The floating sauna of the Plateau Blo Capital of Culture project will set sail on Sunday, April 7, after a delay.

At the first Sauna Talk on the Esplanade Altmünster, Simone Barlian and her team invite interested parties to discuss building culture in the Salzkammergut. This includes a sauna and cooling off in the lake.

Everything is provided for
"We have a temporary sauna operating permit," says Barlian. We also have a positive nature conservation report and the Plateau Blo sauna has an emergency button. "Opening new rooms is not easy, but together with the authorities, we've managed it well," she says.
