Andsu 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.

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!
