Jantsu Farm saunas

At Jantsu Farm, you can experience two different saunas: the primordial power of the smoke sauna and the pleasant simplicity of the plastic sauna. The smoke sauna is an ancient temple of purity and health, where both body and soul are cleansed, while the plastic sauna offers a quick and fun steam experience at the edge of the forest. Both types of saunas rejuvenate the body and mind for several days, making them a great way to relax or start a weight loss journey. The smoke sauna on the shore of the pond has been carefully constructed from massive aspen logs. The stove is made from manor-era bricks, and a half-ton of field stones provides the heat. The ceiling is insulated with one and a half tons of Mooste lightweight clay mixture. The plastic sauna is located at the edge of the forest, heats up quickly, and provides an authentic, old-school sauna experience with the right amount of water in a bowl — just pour it over yourself with a ladle! From the heat of the sauan, you can dash straight into the cool pond. Come and enjoy two distinct sauna experiences — the calming power of the smoke sauna and the playful freedom of the plastic sauna!

Ilmaveere Nature Spa smoke sauna

We offer you an archaic and rustic smoke sauna experience directly on the slope of Obinitsa. The use of the smoke sauna is generally included in the room price. From the smoke sauna, you can dive directly into the refreshing barrel sauna and enjoy the healing beauty of Setomaa nature vis-à-vis. The smoke sauna tradition is one of the most special in the region. Heating the sauna is a long process that lasts several hours. Once the last smoke, or "karm," is released from the heated room, the true sauna enjoyment can begin. In a well-prepared smoke sauna, the air is clear and light, the steam pleasantly soft, and health-restoring. It is not just a place to wash, but part of an experience where rituals, stories, and closeness to nature help balance both body and mind. Don't be surprised if you hear chickens clucking or smell ponies Saara and Spotter in the air. They too are busy with their daily activities at Ilmaveere, and this is part of the unique Setomaa atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The smoke sauna traditions of Vana-Võrumaa are listed in the UNESCO cultural heritage.

Männi Farm smoke sauna

A smoke sauna is a true 'back to nature' experience, from its stone hearth to the birch twigs you cleanse your skin with. There is no smoke in the sauna while you're in it, as by then it has already heated up. Warm and cool water is provided as in the olden days - there is no shower or toilet in the building. You can run down and jump into the pond in just a couple of minutes. The farm's renovated smoke sauna building is a log structure around 100 years old. It has the sauna itself plus an entrance way and two party and recreation rooms which seat up to 30 people. There is also a fireplace. The space is ideal for parties, weddings and other events. You can bring your own food or have the farmer's wife cater for you.
