TRADITIONAL FINNISH SAUNA EXPERIENCE

Finnish sauna is an internationally known concept and a substantial part of Finnish culture. Come and experience the relaxing and authentic sauna evening with Safartica! The remote venue itself is an experience and locates in the middle of a forest with no neighbors in the vicinity. There is no electricity nor the running water in the venue, so we heat the sauna with wood and carry the washing water from the lake. In the meanwhile the sauna heats up we dip our feet in the water and relax on the pier, row the boat and fish in the wilderness lake or just sit by the open fire in total silence under the midnight sun. The sauna experience is followed by the traditional sauna snacks; fried sausages and beverages - and if you catch a fish we can prepare in the fire! Safartica provides towels and lots of talk about sauna culture and local way of life are served.
