A genuine community

Bjørkheim Sauna was initiated to create a cross-generational and socially unifying meeting place for Samnanger residents. Through ease of use and low prices, the sauna has succeeded in establishing an open and low-threshold community, where both residents and visitors are welcome.

A health-promoting measure

The sauna builds on the municipality's active winter bathing culture, and is an important measure for recreation, well-being and good health. Regular sauna bathing helps prevent stress and increase life expectancy.
 

A sustainable initiativ

The sauna is an example of sustainable local innovation. It is constructed from local and short-travel refined material, drifts without current and provides close contact with nature. The sauna inspires simple pleasures, slow pace and reasonable consumption.
