Courtesy translation. In case of doubt, the German version applies.
1. Scope
These house rules apply to all visitors of the self-service sauna on Lake Untersee at the Buebebadi in Eschenz. By booking a time slot, the booking person agrees to these house rules and is responsible for ensuring that everyone they bring also follows them.
2. Booking and access

- You may pass the access code on to other people, along with the responsibility that comes with it.
- The access code for the key box is sent to the booking person by text message and email immediately after booking. It is only valid for the booked time slot.
- Please only enter the sauna area at the start of your booked time slot, out of consideration for the previous booking.
- Leave the sauna by the end of your time slot at the latest, so that the next booking can start on time.
