Skogens rom sauna - floating sauna by the Telemark Canal

Find available slots and book here!

Our architect designed sauna in Lunde opened March 4th 2025.
The sauna was designed by architect Tone Sandøy from Furore Arkitektur / Oslo Works and is the result of extensive nerding about saunas and ice bathing, with valuable input from experienced sauna enthusiasts. Telemark ByggEntreprenør from Gvarv has transformed the drawings into a real building.

We’re delighted to offer warm and relaxing experiences in beautiful surroundings to both locals and visitors in Lunde!

Location

The sauna was built at Lunde Lock during the winter of 2024/2025 and had two fantastic months of operation there in March and April. Thank you to all the wonderful guests who stopped by - and for the amazing feedback you gave us!

Now, the sauna has finally come "home" to its permanent location: Tveitanevja and Tveitankroken, right between Lunde and the Vrangfoss lock.

Address: Vrangfossvegen 534, 3825 Lunde (free parking)

Set in a stunning cultural landscape, it’s the perfect place to slow down and find some peace.
National Cycle Route No. 2 runs along Vrangfossvegen, so why not combine your ride with a sauna session? Or arrive by water - by canoe or kayak!

Private rental or shared sauna sessions

Sauna culture has deep roots in Norway and beyond. After a period in the 1980s when many Norwegians sat alone in private home saunas, we’re now seeing a revival of public and commercial shared saunas. There’s something about stepping away from the outside world and into the warmth of a shared experience—whether with new faces, close friends, or family. Perhaps the sauna is the perfect place to meet new people? Or maybe you prefer a peaceful session in a relaxed and comfortable setting with your nearest and dearest. Our sauna will be available for both private rentals and shared sessions, so you can choose the experience that suits you best.
