As a veteran supporter of the arts, with several years’ experience in artist management, six years as a restaurateur, and three as a film producer, Dolapo is no stranger to success.

Wir waren in Island und haben dort für euch in unserem Wellness-Lieblingsland einige heiße Quellen besucht. Davon berichten wir euch in dieser Folge. In Island, dem Land von Feuer und Eis, gibt es tendenziell mehr eine Kultur der heißen Quellen und weniger eine Saunakultur wie wir sie aus Europa kennen. Geführte Aufgüsse wird man in Island eher nicht finden (außer ihr trefft zufällig Ingvar, wenn er auf Reisen ist), dafür aber ganz viele tolle heiße Quellen. Es gibt kostenlosen heiße Quellen, zu denen man meistens etwas hinwandern muss und Thermen, die als Hauptattraktion heiße Quellen haben. Dort sitzt man dann im Bikini, Badeanzug oder in der Badehose und entspannt. Pauline zieht außerdem auch gerne eine Mütze auf, weil ihr der Wind oft zu kalt ist, wenn sie in der heißen Quelle sitzt. 

Preislich ist bei heißen Quellen so einiges möglich. Von 7 Euro im Sündhöllin in Reykjavik bis zu 250 Euro in der Retreat Lagoon (einem neuen Teil der Blue Lagoon) ist alles drin. Wir empfehlen euch: Überlegt euch, was euer Budget ist, man wird auch mit den Basic-Paketen in den Thermen glücklich und entspannt. Wer Lust auf Luxus hat, ist in der der Retreat Lagoon - allerdings dann hochpreisig - sehr gut bedient. 

Wir waren für euch folgenden Quellen/Thermen:

Sündhöllin - dem öffentlichen Schwimmband mit Hot Pot in Reykjavik

Fontana - einer wunderschönen heißen Quelle mit Dampfbad und Sauna in Laugavartn mit Blick über einen See

Blue Lagoon - Der Klassiker in Island: eine heiße Quelle, die ihre charakteristische blaue Farbe durch Silikate bekommt; ganz neu gehört jetzt zur Blue Lagoon auch noch die Retreat Lagoon für alle, die es etwas privater und luxuriöser haben wollen; für alle Saunafans gibt es in der Blue Lagoon und der Retreat Lagoon eine Sauna

Sky Lagoon - ganz neu seit Herbst 2021, nur 15 Minuten mit dem Auto  von Reykjavik entfernt mit Infinity Pool und sagenhaftem Blick über den Ozean; mit Sauna, die man aber nur im Zusammenhang mit dem Ritual, das man dazu buchen kann, besuchen kann

Wir finden alle Quellen großartig! 

Unser Tipp: viel Wasser trinken, denn auch in heißen Quellen schwitzt man. Außerdem: bucht euch euren Besuch online  vor allem bei der Blue Lagoon und der Sky Lagoon vor, so seid ihr sicher, dass ihr auch wirklich einen Platz in der heißen Quelle bekommt.

Und so könnt ihr immer schön entspannt bleiben!

Pauline und Ingvar 

Bei „Abenteuer Wellness“ nehmen dich Pauline und Ingvar mit auf eine Reise voller (Ent)spannung. Denn Saunieren ist hipper als du denkst! Ingvar ist Lehrer und Saunameister, Pauline ist Psychologin und Autorin. Zusammen sind sie verheiratet. In ihrem Podcast klären sie auf: Gibt es einen Dresscode in der Sauna? Funktioniert Wellness in allen Ländern gleich? Was ist eigentlich ein Aufguss? In welche Wellness-Oase sollte man unbedingt mal gehen? Welche Verhaltensregeln gibt es in einer Therme? In ihrer Freizeit finden sie den perfekten Ausgleich zum vollen Arbeitsalltag beim Saunieren in Thermen und Wellness-Hotels. Hier berichten sie von ihren Wellness-Städtetrips durch Deutschland und Europa und manchmal sogar die ganze Welt. Und sie verraten dir, wie und wo man am besten Saunieren kann. Andere nennen es Achtsamkeit und Selfcare, Pauline und Ingvar nennen es „Abenteuer Wellness“. Nur in einer Sauna wird eine Sache von allen Menschen akzeptiert: Handy aus, Digital Detox an! Denn Saunieren ist Fitness für Körper und Geist. Saunieren ist ein Lebensgefühl und kann schnell süchtig machen und zum Lifestyle werden. Und so ist das Motto von Ingvar und Pauline: Immer schön entspannt bleiben! Homepage: www.abenteuerwellness.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abenteuer.wellness

Main Points From Today’s Episode

1. The Retreat Hotel is built into lava stone on the Blue Lagoon hot springs. The water is rich in minerals and reaches temperatures between 95 and 105 degrees.
2. Icelanders eat a very clean diet. Their animals eat only indigenous plants, and their produce is grown in greenhouses and so requires no pesticides.
3. The hot springs have wonderful healing properties. They are also a big part of Icelandic community and socialization.

Episode Play-By-Play

[3:28] JJ stayed at the Retreat Hotel, which is built into the lava rock at Blue Lagoon geothermal waters.

[5:17] In addition to the waters being rich in minerals and sulfur, soaking together is a big part of Icelandic community, sharing time with others.

[5:54] The mineral-rich pools help relieve pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, sleep problems, stress, and skin issues, just to name a few.

[6:30] The drinking water in Iceland is pure, mineral-rich spring water.

[7:05] The water is also silica rich, a key component in collagen creation and which helps with hair, skin, nails, and to build bone density.

[7:18] During her stay, JJ exfoliated with volcanic salts, then used a silica body mask, followed by an algae mask, all great for circulation and detoxification. She also tried out extreme temperature change, steaming in a sauna followed by a cold plunge, and found it super invigorating.

[10:00] The hotel uses only non-toxic cleaners, which leaves the rooms smelling fresh and clean, no chemical or moldy smell.

[11:18] The Icelandic diet has the highest fish consumption in the world. They don’t eat much grain because it has to be imported. Their meat is fed only indigenous plant life.

[14:20] Because of their climate, all veggies are grown in greenhouses, so no pesticides are used.

[15:21] The population is very fit and very happy.

[17:20] Top takeaways

• Super, duper clean city. How can we contribute to cleaning up our environment?
• Detoxifying on a regular basis
• Hot and cold temperature exposure
• Attend the gym regularly
• Eat as clean as possible
• Drink mineral rich clean water from glass containers
