Oslo's Original Fjord Sauna

There are lots of floating saunas in Oslo. You can rent them and float them off somewhere to enjoy the sauna and the cold dip in the fjord afterwards. Lots of people just keep them harboured up close to the quayside though, like this one, which our daughter tells us is the original Oslo Fjord Sauna, made up of all sorts of left over bits of wood. It has a new 'extension' at the back. We didn't try one out!

Oh my, that's amazing! My daughter goes wild swimming in Scotland. Must let her have a look at this!

I would love to do this - never knew you could do this!

[Kathy A]

Goodness, that sure would be interesting.

[Pam Knowler]

Wow how strange - I never knew you could do this.

[Babs]

How interesting. I would love the sauna but the dip in the chilly water would be a bit of a shock to my system.

[leggzy]

Very interesting that it's made of bits of scrap wood.

[Islandgirl]

Wow very interesting, not sure it’s something I would like to do though!

[Jennie B.]

Oh wow, looks like a fun thing to do (not the chilly water though) lol

[Bep]

Really interesting!

[Milanie]

Oh my goodness - that's so interesting - never would have thought of something like that

[Pat Knowles]

Gracious I have never heard of that before….I hope they are well anchored…. wouldn’t like to stick my head out & discover I was out at sea!

[haskar]

Very interesting.

[KWind]

That would be fun!!

[Kathy]

Those Norwegians, they are a hardy lot. I like this run down looking place.

[Delwyn Barnett]

So intriguing!

[Shutterbug]

I agree with Kathy, they must be a hardy bunch. Certainly sounds invigorating, but also has relaxing built in.

@happypat They are rented out with a 'Sauna Master' to keep you safe and stoke up the fire ... can you just imagine otherwise?!

One glance and the word "ramshackle" came to mind. Not sure I'd trust this! The last thing you want to have happen is to be in the sauna and see pieces start to fall off! hehe I like the peek inside with the patrons there- brave souls in my opinion!

[Hazel]

I did send the link to your post to my daughter, Clare, the wild swimmer, who also thought it was amazing! It's amazing to me in a different way!

[Issi Bannerman]

@quietpurplehaze Glad she liked it!
