Everything you need to know about visiting the sauna
In front of the sauna
reservation
Reserve the sauna online and select your preferred date and time. We recommend allowing at least two hours for a relaxing sauna experience. You will receive your access code via email before your booking begins. Your confirmation email will also contain a link to the booking calendar so you can check if there is already a booking. If no one has booked before you, you will need to light the fire yourself. Fill the stove completely with logs right from the start. It will then take approximately 45 minutes to get hot enough. You are welcome to arrive 45-60 minutes before your scheduled time to light the fire. This time will not be charged. Before lighting the fire for the first time, please empty the ash pan under the firebox! An ash bucket is located outside.

Don't forget to bring two towels, swimwear, flip-flops, and drinks. Please arrive already showered.
