Earth sauna

An earth sauna is an exclusive, but also very complex and comparatively expensive sauna. It is also called an earth wall sauna. It is a sauna that is embedded in the ground. It is installed either in an earth cellar or a hill. It is more than an outdoor sauna. Because it is installed in the earth, it is excellently insulated. An earth sauna can have temperatures of 110 degrees Celsius or more. Although the heat is well tolerated due to the low humidity, it is still not suitable for beginners but for experienced sauna goers.

Differences between a conventional sauna and an earth sauna

The sauna is not heated with an electronic sauna heater in a sauna cabin, but with a wood stove. However, infusions are also made. However, the characteristics of an earth sauna should be taken into account. A ladle of water has the same effect as a liter of water in a traditional Finnish sauna. The infusion naturally increases the humidity immediately. This is felt as if the temperature were rising sharply at the same time. A modern earth sauna has little in common with an original earth sauna, except that it is also built into the earth.

The earth sauna – origin and history

The earth sauna is a Finnish sauna in its most original form. When it was created, however, the focus was not on relaxation for the body and mind or on the idea of ​​wellness, as is the case today. The purpose of an earth sauna was to keep warm. The first earth saunas were holes in the ground that were lined with stones or bricked and had a wooden roof. Moss and lichens served as insulation and camouflage. Who would have expected an earth sauna under the moss? Traditionally, a fire was lit in these traditional sweat houses, which heated the stones in the sauna. Smoke from the fire escaped through the leaky roof. The stones were of course covered in soot from the fire. If they were hot enough, the seating surfaces of the stones could be cleaned so that users could sit down. The night was often spent in these earth saunas because it was pleasantly warm. So they were primarily used for warmth and had more of a heating function.
