A magical garden full of small nooks, treasures and surprises was created in the picturesque Lada region, near the Sázava River. The new wellness is reminiscent of an unexplored place hidden in the woods, cut off from the ordinary world. The space can be visited through the basement of the hotel Sen, where we find a reception, changing rooms, showers, facilities.

The darkened cellars will prepare the visitor for the whole experience. Upon entering the garden, a completely new story opens up, a dreamlike environment, a place of rest and relaxation. It is followed by a mysterious lake surrounded by sauna chests and cooling stones. On the opposite side we walk through the orangery with a rest room. Ferns attack from the ceiling skylights, and climbing plants grow on the façade.

The surrounding areas are complemented by small architecture, relaxation areas with sun loungers and armchairs. The individual saunas are covered with a wooden grate with battens, which indicate the theme of the interior space. After opening these chests, we find a playful, diverse interior supported by different scents, temperature, music. The most decorated treasure chest hides a ceremonial sauna designed for meetings and collective experiences.

Glowing stones shrouded in irregular plates are used for cooling after a sauna, as well as for the background of sauna masters. Landscaping completes the landscape of wellness, develops small paths and quilters, seating platforms on the slope. Luminaires placed in grasses and cages indicating important places. Metal runes help to better orientate around the space, they pulsate gently, they attract insight. Wooden slats of various sizes increase intimacy and privacy in places where it is needed.

The sauna world in Senohraby is an unconventional experience in an overgrown garden that awakens imagination and new ideas. During the visit, you will get lost in a complex labyrinth of alternating different moods and forget about daily worries for a while.
