Wena’s personal passion

From Sweden to the Saale.

For over 25 years, Wena has been creating special holiday moments. This boat, built by the Swedish shipyard Marinbastun, is her very own place to unwind.

Under the name SaaleMomente, the sauna boat is joined by Restaurant Schmiedehafen and Reisebüro Traeger in Pößneck. Strandhafen Café is planned as a further addition.
