Saunas and hot tubs on the shore of Saarjärve bog lake

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.

The smoke sauna belonging to the Pedaja Holiday Farm complex comfortably accommodates up to 6 people for steaming. For larger groups, vacationers can alternately enjoy the pleasures of the smoke sauna and the relaxing effect of the hot tub. For a change, the body can be cooled on the sauna terrace or in the nearby pond among water lilies. To enrich the sauna experience, we also offer a mobile car sauna — the car sauna is built into the trunk of a GAZ 52 car, which can be driven to a location suitable for the group. It is possible to order sauna masters to perform smoke sauna rituals. This procedure adds a deep cultural dimension to the experience. The sauna pleasure can be combined with the entire complex holiday experience, making the whole event memorable. The smoke sauna culture originates from the Estonian rural tradition passed down from generation to generation, and UNESCO has recognized the Võromaa smoke sauna tradition as an intangible cultural heritage. This means it is not just a sauna, but an experiential combination of culture, relaxing routine, and nature.
