The Munich Tech Sauna community is a unique gathering of tech enthusiasts in the beautiful city of Munich, Germany. We come together to unwind and connect, sharing the joy of saunas and great conversations. Our community values a tech-free environment, leaving gadgets and devices at the door, allowing us to focus on what truly matters: human connections.

Alright fellow tech enthusiasts, mark your calendars for our next Munich Tech Sauna June meetup! We're venturing to the Monte Mare Schliersee Sauna, nestled close to the picturesque Schliersee, offering an exclusive sauna experience in a stunning setting.
We're straying a bit from Munich, but fear not, the journey to Schliersee and the Monte Mare Schliersee sauna remains conveniently reachable by train from Munich main station.
Join us on June 15 for a day of sauna bliss. Many of us will be starting our steamy sessions around 12:00 or possibly even earlier. If you're new to our community, give us a shout in the #meetups channel on Discord, and we'll make sure you're welcomed and guided by some friendly community members.
A heads-up: Monte Mare Schliersee sometimes requires a special reservation, so it's wise to double-check their website at https://www.monte-mare.de/schliersee/.
Prepare for sauna heaven! Monte Mare Schliersee boasts a variety of saunas and top-notch regular infusions. After indulging in the heat, cool off with a relaxing swim, lounge around, and perhaps enjoy a refreshing beer. It's shaping up to be the ultimate Munich Tech Sauna gathering!
For our May meetup, Munich Tech Sauna will meet at the world's largest sauna and SPA area: Therme Erding. As May 9 is a public holiday in Bavaria, we will meet already at 2PM at the entrance of the sauna area.
While this is an absolute highlight, it is quite essential to meet at the entrance or communicate BEFORE to arrange a meetup within the sauna area. With 26+ saunas it's easy to get lost or never find us at all :-)
Needless to say that Therme Erding will provide an amazing sauna experience with world class infusions, a bar in the pool for a fresh beer and many more great experiences.
Full address: May 9 at 14:00 at Therme Erding, Thermenallee 1-5, 85435 Erding, Germany - easy to reach by public transport via S2 and the stop Altenerding (not Erding!) and a 10 minute walk.
Our April meetup takes us to the central Nordbad in Munich. It's an SWM run sauna, so don't expect too much when it comes to the sauna infusions, but they feature several sauna's and if we are lucky there will be infusions at 19.00 / 20.00 / 21.00 as well as a salt peeling in the steam bath at 19.30. It's definitely a central place and great to chat.
Full address Apr 18 at 17:30 at Nordbad, Schleißheimer Str. 142, 80797 München, Germany
Best reachable via Tram 12, 27, MetroBus 53, 59 (Nordbad and Hohenzollernplatz) StadtBus 154 (Nordbad) U2 (Hohenzollernplatz)
please note It's recommended to get a reservation for this special event... it guarantees entrance to the sauna. https://shop.kristall-trimini.de/category/21 Choose March 7 which is the day we visit from about 12/1300 - we will meet inside, so make sure you connected to not sauna alone!
Visit the Sauna Masters / Sauna competition at the Kristall Therme Trimini Kochel am See - many will likely join, some by car, some by train (and a nice walk) or by bicycle... So let us know in #meetups if you plan to come and then let's share travel plans. This sauna event will be quite special, expect the best of the best battling for the best Saunameister.
If you want, you can join our group bike ride in the morning from Puchheim-Bahnhof (S) to Ammersee (stop at Alte Villa) down to Kochel am See. This will be a tempo ride, good fitness required - 91 km over 4h roughly. Details here https://www.strava.com/clubs/techsauna
In any case, it's really recommended you join our Discord for the #meetups channel and realtime info on the day of this event.
For our official March meetup, we will meet at the Munich-local and well accessible Cosima Wellenbad. This place features a fresh and modern sauna area and some of our community will remember the great meetup we had there last year - we pretty much filled up the "Bio-Sauna" for great chats and the sauna infusions we experienced there were also quite good (for SWM).
According to their website, there will be two infusions at 20:00 and 21:00 - before we can try out the Bio-Sauna, steam bath or the 'Stollensauna' in the outside area... as well as have chats or visit the pool!
We can exit the sauna area and get a drink/food at the restaurant, accessible from the swimming pool area.
Our second meetup of the year will take us to the well known and Munich-local Michaelibad. We've been there before and enjoyed the chatty context - hope to cu soon!
Feb 15 | 1730 sharp at entrance area or later inside | Michaelibad
What's special? The spacious sauna on two floors is a visual delight – bathed in light and kept in warm pastel tones. On the ground floor, you can cool down in the large cold pool and a small outdoor garden between sauna sessions. Upstairs, two relaxation rooms and the outdoor terrace await you.
Saunas:
Just a quick note that even before our last meetup on Dec 21 you have a chance to check out the Monte Mare in Tegernsee with us on Dec 7.
We will take the train from Donnersberger Brücke at 1608 to reach Tegernsee final Stop in about an hour and then meet at the entrance with others that might join by car at 1730 like usually.
As always, I recommend to say hi and join on discord #meetups in Munich Tech Sauna for last minute info.
