Sauna enthusiasts often claim that wood-heated saunas offer the ultimate experience. Test this theory by entering an authentic sauna, gently floating above a tranquil lake, and immerse yourself in the inviting heat. Your sauna host will guide you through the details, ensuring a fulfilling adventure, even if it's your first experience with a Finnish sauna. Toss water onto the rocks, relishing the “löyly,” or steam, released by the stove. You decide how hot it's going to be, and for a refreshing cool-down, take a dip in the adjacent lake. Say goodbye to stress and tension!
Feel free to enter the sauna either nude or with a towel; please refrain from wearing swimsuits inside.
The temperature of the sauna depends on the amount of water thrown onto the stove. For a milder experience, children can opt for the lower bench where it's cooler.
