Frequently Asked Questions

For all our open events and shared sauna/drop-in sessions, we ask that you keep your swimwear on. This is out of consideration for the fact that people have different preferences, and some may feel uncomfortable saying no if asked whether they are okay with nudity.

When you book the sauna privately for your own group, however, you are free to do as you please. You are also very welcome to swim and enjoy the sauna naked and undisturbed.

A drop-in session means that you can book single tickets to the session. You will then share the sauna with others who have booked at the same time.

Drop-in sessions have capacity for 10 people.

We offer drop-in sessions on a regular basis on Wednesdays at 6 pm and Saturdays at 12 am.

All the other sessions are available for private hire where you have the whole sauna float to yourselves.

• 2 towels; one to sit on in the sauna + one to dry yourself with
• Swimwear for shared sauna sessions. For private sessions you choose if you want to use swimwear or not.
• Water bottle
• Plastic bag for wet clothes
• Appropriate shoes depending on weather (ca 100 meters fairly steep walk across the field from parking to the sauna)
• Optional: swimming socks & gloves in winter (wool socks/gloves are also great)

Aufguss is a guided sauna experience led by a sauna master.

Aufguss is a German word meaning “to pour on,” and refers to a sauna ritual where water, ice, and essential oils are poured over hot sauna stones to create steam and pleasant scents. The steam is then circulated around the sauna using a towel or fan by the sauna master.

Our experience lasts approximately 1.5 hours in total, divided into several sessions with relaxing breaks in between. Aufguss sessions often have one or more themes, accompanied by music.

Aufguss is generally suitable for everyone and is a way of enjoying the sauna that requires very little from you, just show up and relax on the bench.
You can regulate the heat by choosing which level of the benches you sit on (it’s hottest at the top). However, if you are very sensitive to heat, aufguss may not be the right fit for you. If it becomes too hot, it is perfectly fine to leave the room during a session, but please avoid going in and out repeatedly as this can disturb the “performance.”

Aufguss in a shared sauna

We host aufguss sessions 1–2 times per month, where you can book individual spots in a shared sauna together with others. The sauna masters we invite vary, and each has their own style and focus, which allows us to offer a slightly different experience each time.

Dates are available on our front page under “Aufguss and events.”
Price: NOK 395 per person (9 seats per session)

Private Aufguss for your group

If you are a group interested in booking a private aufguss, please contact us to check available times. Availability is limited and depends on freelance sauna masters, so we recommend reaching out well in advance.
Currently, Wednesdays are the easiest days to arrange this. These sessions are usually led by sauna master Linda Gunnerød from Lunde, certified at Farris Bad in autumn 2025.

Price: NOK 3,500 (for up to 10 people)

You can find the sauna in Lunde, Telemark - in a beautiful and tranquil location at Tveitankroken, between Lunde and Vrangfoss - approximately 5-6 km from the center of Lunde.
Address: Vrangfossvegen 534, 3825 Lunde.

For now, while we still have other jobs, the sauna is available:

Wednesdays kl 16-21.30 (shared sauna session at 6 pm)

Thursdays kl 16-21.30

Saturdays kl 10-21.30 (shared sauna sessions at 12)

Sundays kl 10-21.30

Since we heat up the sauna for you, all sessions must be booked in advance. Preferably the day before, but if the booking calendar shows available slots the same day - feel free to book.

• Feel free to bring your own snacks, but for hygiene reasons, food is not allowed inside the sauna itself.
• Alcohol is not permitted in the public sauna/drop-in sessions.
• For private bookings, a maximum of 2 units of beer, white wine, or sparkling wine per person is allowed. Red wine and spirits are not permitted.

However, sauna and swimming are best and safest without alcohol, and both activities are at your own risk.

• Guests are encouraged to shower/be clean before arrival.
• The sauna is cleaned and tidied after each visit by us.

PS: Most bacteria die at 60 degrees Celsius. Upon arrival, our sauna will always be heated to over 70 degrees.

If you rent the whole sauna for your group (private rental), you can be up to 10 persons.

At drop-in/shared sessions we have lowered the number to 9 persons to make it more comfortable for people not knowing each other.

• The sauna and lounge will be preheated when you arrive.
• There is no toilet on the floating platform.
• Swimming is possible in the Telemark Canal from the bathing ladder (year-round).
• Changing area with hooks for hanging clothes.
• A separate heated lounge is available for those who do not wish to stay in the sauna for the entire session. The warm lounge can also be used as a changing room, but please avoid wet swimwear here.
• Free parking.

We have no age limit, but children must be accompanied by an adult.

• You will be welcomed by us and given a quick safety briefing upon arrival.
• Guidelines for use are posted in the changing area (and are also available on our website).
• Guests should never swim alone! For this reason, we do not allow only one guest to stay on the sauna raft. If you end up alone during a drop-in session, you will either be offered to reschedule your booking or we will be present in the lounge while you use the sauna.
• Important phone numbers (emergency numbers and our contact information) can be found in the changing area.
