Have a sauna experience you will never forget! On floating sauna Rukan Rento you can enjoy the heat of a traditional Finnish sauna, dip for a swim and have a barbeque. On the top floor of the sauna you find the sun terrace, where you can relax and lay on the sun.

Using the floating sauna is easy. The sauna leaves from the harbor of Rukan Rento. The captain of the sauna drives the sauna to buoy 600 meters from the lake shore.

The sauna benches fits 5 people at any one time. If you are visiting the floating sauna with a bigger group, others can tan on the upper terrace or enjoy swimming meanwhile. We are happy to answer to any questions about the use of sauna.
