Anything goes, nothing is compulsory. The warm pool with bubbles does the rest, where the hustle and bustle slips right off your shoulders. Staying at the hotel? Then dive into the wellness. Not booked a room? Also good. Just combine your visit with a massage or beauty treatment. For those looking for wellness, a nice hotel and pure relaxation in Limburg: this is the place.

3. Recharge during a float session at Maashof
Sometimes the world is just too busy for a while. That's when it's time to hit the pause button. At Maashof, relax completely during a float session in warm, magnesium-rich water. You float weightlessly, in a sealed tank at body temperature. No stimuli, no noise, just you. Did you know that one hour of floating is equivalent to five hours' sleep? Now that's recharging. Good for your body, great for your mind. And would you like to experience something more afterwards? Then book the Winter Gold package with an E-Chopper Ride. An hour and a half of touring through the Venlo winter landscape, with the cold on your cheeks and the Maas valley at your side. Finish with a warm bowl of snert. Because that too is wellness.
