The log cabin sauna: wood as far as the eye can see.

Visually, this type of sauna is always a highlight: due to the good insulating properties of thick log cabin planks, no additional insulation is needed on the walls of the free-standing log cabin sauna. This means that an optimal exchange of air can take place without being hindered by vapour barrier membranes and insulation layers.

Playing with fire

Especially for remote locations, it is a good idea to operate the sauna with a wood-burning stove, completely without electricity or water supply. Especially in complete seclusion at a remote lake or in the middle of the forest, you can enjoy a sauna in the great outdoors. The burning wood removes the last moisture from the air.
