Sauna & lunch time

After the short break you'll take a final stretch to the location of the sauna. There you will enjoy relaxing three hours in a cosy and warm atmosphere, feel the heat of the traditional sauna and taste some sauna-special tea, brewed with local herbs and enjoy your delicious hot lunch cooked over open fire. Your guide will show you how to take the most of this sauna experience.
