Sauna Experience

Programme:

  • A tour of the Sauna Museum, presenting the history of the traditional sauna and regional features in sauna construction and sauna practices.
  • ‘Black sauna’ experience under supervision of a sauna master. The black sauna is a wooden log building without a chimney. It has small windows, doors and crevices in the walls. One can notice that the sauna is being heated as the clouds of smoke come out through all openings. The fire heats not only the stones piled up in inside the sauna house but also the walls.  During the heating smoke circulates around the sauna room and soot accumulates on the stove stones, where it burns completely. It remains on the ceiling and walls
  • Relaxing and enjoying herbal teas with honey, up to 10 types of different honey are available.
