The sauna is heated with wood, much like the fireplace. It is worth planning ahead, as it usually takes around 60–90 minutes for the cabin to reach a comfortable temperature and for the embers to settle into a steady glow.
How to fire up the sauna — step by step
- The stove sits against the large side wall of the sauna.
- Light it the same way you would the fireplace.
- Add the wood gradually, without overloading the firebox.
- Wait until the cabin has reached the right temperature.
- The working temperature is around 90 °C.
- Check the reading on the thermometer inside the cabin.
- Please do not enter the sauna in shoes.
Good to know
- The heating time depends on the outside temperature and on how much wood you have laid on.
- It is best to enter the sauna unhurriedly, with quiet breaks to cool down — the slow turn from heat to cold is the heart of the ritual.
- If children are using it, they should be supervised by an adult at all times.
- If a quantity of ash has built up in the stove, tip it exclusively into the metal bucket standing behind the sauna.
- Hot ash must never be thrown into plastic containers or emptied anywhere on the grounds.
- After your session, please leave the sauna in good order.
