Wanna treat yourself with some wellness? Check out my recent visit at the Japanese influenced "Mizu Onsen Spa"

Tegernsee, Bavaria, Germany. 

Hey guys,

as Im a huge enthusiast about the Japanese lifestlye I was so excited when I read that the "Bachmair Weissach Hotel", located at the wonderful Tegernsee in Bavaria (around 30 minutes drive from Munich), opened up the "Mizu Onsen Spa".

As the name is already hiding it, it is Japanese influenced. That means all the decoration in the spa and the surroundings are desinged in a really modern minimalistic Asian style. Onsen - means hot springs. Mizu is translated as an expression of astonishment, cold water.

First, when you arrive you will be friendly greeted and will get your own spa high end luxury equipments, which includes your own spa shoes and your own cozy bathrobe.

Your personal belongings you can leave in the locker room, which is all fitted in wood, which pays tribiute to the region.

In the back room of the locker you find a large bath rooom, where you can get yourself after spa ready with all the luxury amities you need to have. Not to forget to mention, they have the supersonic dyson (400 Euro) as their standard hair dryer.

When you entering the spa you get out of your locker room and walk threw the reception of the spa and then downstairs, where all the amenties of the spa are taking place.

The Spa itslef is offering a silent room as well as a super silent romm, for those who are searching for silence in perfection. 

For the steamer fans, they offer a steam room with 38 Celcius and another steam room up to 90 Celcius. 

Which to me was super exciting and I was thrilled to check out was the Onsen Bath with 42 Celcius. This was my personal highlight.

For those who like it more cold, the Spa offers Ice (YES, you heard right!) and cold waterbases 2 - 10 Celcius. I tried to get into the "cold" one, it was out of my reach. No way I could ever go into the ice one to be honest.

Outside the spa also has a sole-outdoor pool, which is headedup to 32 Celcius. I would say this is someting more for a summer visit, as you need to pass the "outside" to get into the pool.

The nature pool is also really nice, but also reserved for the summer days. 

After all the wellness, you might get hungry, we checked out the Mizu Onsen Spa-Bar. I tried the Blue Detox Tea and the Sushi Box, which was fitting to the atmosphere such a nice dish to have.

The Hotel itself is offering different restaurants (mainly Bavarian, regional food), which you can also visit if you cant find something on the menue. 

So either you travel or visit Tegernsee, you are searching for a wonderful gift, this Mizu Onsen Spa is worth a visit.

The only sad thing, you cant see the lake from the spa. So make sure you plan some more time to explore the amazing region of lake Tegernsee!

Make sure to place a reservation, especially on the weekends the spa is super busy.

Pure Lifestyle on top of the mountains - Austria / Kristallhütte

Skiing and Lifestyle traveling on top of the mountains - my insights for you: 

Hey guys,

today I want to introduce to you the magnificent beautiful located "Kristallhütte" in Austria / Zillertal. 

For getting even a better impression I will provide you now with the link, as a video can say more then thousands pictures: https://vimeo.com/125841117

So YES, I love snow and being in the mountains. But unfortunately I missed learning how to ski or snowboard.

So how can you manage to get someone like this up to a skiing paradise and hideaway on top of the mountains in Austria (literally ON TOP)? Underneath you see the morning view from our suite.

For myself (thanks to the lovely host) they picked me up at the mid station and transferred me with a jet ski to the Kristallhütte.

For all the ski lovers out there - the normal way would be to get rid of your package in the middle station (they transfer it for you and take care) and then ski all day and come with the last lift to the Kristallhütte back.

Around 4.00 the daily skiing visitors are leaving to get the last ride down. This is when your private Kristallhütte experience is about to start.

The service is unbelievable, when your back from skiing or wellnessing (they offer a great Spa with one of a kind view towards facing the mountains - NOTHING ELSE!) you can go for an aperitivo in the freshly cleaned out Kristallhütte. While taking a sip of your aperitif, they offer you some snacks which you can enjoy while warming yourself up on a huge fire place.

As the Kristallhütte is only offering 4 alpine lodge suites and 8 superior rooms, you can imagine how private you feel when no one else is there only the crew members, you and the mountain spirit.

We stayed in an alpine lodge suite, which is only with one word writable : pure lifestyle luxury.
When staying at the suite you can leave your skiing equipment in your own glass locker (outside the suite) and for your shoes, they have a own room for it - to make sure it gets warm again.

The suite itself is facing the pure mountains, 2-level suite, 55 qm. All is in wood and a really clean minimalistic design with huge glass fronts. I guess they wanted to make sure that when you entered the bath tube (of course in front of the glass and facing the mountains) that you really feel your the only one person on top of everything. As a welcome they also offer you a bottle of bubbly, which you can sip with your own (how much luxury you can get!) little private fire - of course close to the bath tube so the romantic is own.

Speaking about romantic the 2-level has also a balcony (as the first level has) which is again facing the great view of the snowy mountains. On the 2-level you have a wonderful big bed where you can take a rest.

Of course you also have your own infrarot cabine in your suite, so you can relax from all the sport really privately.  The Nespresso machine is not missing and you have of course free w-lan. Not to forget to mention they have an integrated music system which serves the music threw all the levels of your suite and also an music alarm system to wake you nicely up - to make sure you don't miss to be the first skiing person that goes down the mountain - while the others still have to wait and stand in line for going up :-)

At night the Kristallhütte is offering (included in the over night price) a wonderful 5-course-Gourmet dinner experience, they have also a great wine card which just don't leave any wishes open.

The breakfast on the next day, sets the same luxury standards as the dinner. Just everything you need (or you don't need) is there.

The guest can also reserve outside some tables or what I would recommend to you: warm water beds, where you can hang out after skiing for lunch or just like me for sun bathing and people watching. Around lunch time many visitors are coming and it gets crowded, which doesn't stop the fun - a DJ act is always there - so you have a huge entertainment while being on top of the mountains.

The only sad thing about it, it is so nice that many people want to book this experience. So make sure you hurry up and book the trip to your winter hideaway !
