Precious

Another short sauna (and wellness) review. 

This time the facilities of Pfalzblick (Wald Spa Resort), located on the outskirts of the small town of Dahn (southern Rheinland-Pfalz), surrounded by the extensive forests of the Pfalz.

The wellness facilities are based over two locations. One in the older building and a brand new sauna island. 
The older facilities have two sauna's, a steam bath and a jacuzzi. It also has access to an inner pool, though this a textile required facility, to complicate matters. 
The new facilities have two sauna's, a steam room and access to an (unheated) swim lagoon.

This set up is not too ideal, certainly difficult to sell to outsiders, who would pay extra for the split set up?
The old facilites have actually seen better times and it's unclear why they are still in operation. 
The new facilities are very nice, but as they are in a seperate building, these only may not afford the extra visit. As for instance the Felsland Badepardies is just 2 muntes further, which incorporates all facilities under 1 roof.

The experience was ok, the Aufguss sessions were the highlight, also evidenced by seeing how many guests made it to these. But even though this had it's own charm, having personel usually doing other work and then doing the Aufguss sessions doesn't always result in an excellent experience for sauna goers.

My ratings are based on the experience of wellness itself, virtually all other reviews refer to the resort as a whole.
And during my stay, the new steamroom broke down, which would have otherwise added a slight variation of the experience. All 'n all? 7.5? 
Possibly a summer experience whereby the swim lagoon would be easier to use might lift the experience. With the temperature of the lagoon in winter varying from 1-5 C, there's precious little fun to be had. So 7.5 it is.

Google: 4.5 stars (900+ reviews), though virtually all of this is based on the resort itself, not the wellness facilities.
Tripadvisor also rates it with 4.5 stars (400+ reviews).
Facebook rates it even higher 4.6 stars (500+ reviews).
Leadingspa notes 97% satisfaction for wellness facilties, whatever it means.
