Smoke sauna in South Estonia
Guided sauna journeys in Valgamaa and Võrumaa — at the heart of UNESCO smoke sauna heritage, led by sauna woman Maia Pruuli.
A sauna journey in South Estonia
South Estonia is the heart of Estonia's smoke sauna heritage — a living UNESCO tradition. I guide sauna rituals in two saunas: Vana-Kaasiku Suitsupääsu village sauna in Valgamaa and Ärni smoke sauna in Võrumaa.
Each sauna has its own character — Vana-Kaasiku is spacious, with two large heaters, fitting larger groups; Ärni is a more intimate log sauna hidden among oaks beside a spring-fed lake. You pick the one that suits you; I bring the guidance.
