Skogens rom sauna - floating sauna by the Telemark Canal

Find available slots and book here!

Welcome to warm and wonderful experiences in beautiful surroundings, for both locals and visitors to Lunde!

Location

Our architect-designed sauna was built in Lunde during the winter of 2024/2025, and in June it finally opened in its permanent location; Tveitanevja and Tveitankroken, 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 sessions, drop-in or events

Sauna bathing has long traditions both in Norway and many other countries. After a brief detour in the 1980s, when “everyone” in Norway sat alone in their private home saunas, we’re fortunately back on a much better track - with public and commercial shared saunas more popular than ever!

There’s something very timely about leaving the outside world behind and stepping into the warmth of a shared space - whether you join new faces, good friends, or family. Perhaps the sauna is the perfect place to meet new people? Or maybe you simply want a calm and comfortable session with those closest to you. Our sauna is designed to welcome both.

Once a month, we also host "aufguss" sessions. Aufguss is a German word meaning “to pour over,” and is a sauna ritual where water, ice, and essential oils are poured onto hot stones to create steam and pleasant aromas, which are then circulated throughout the sauna with a towel or fan by a sauna master. The experience lasts about 1.5 hours in total, divided into several sessions with good breaks in between. Check our booking calendar for upcoming and available sessions..

With a passion for good design and quality

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.
