Sauna Jussi Russian Sauna
Sauna Jussi Sauna house features a Russian sauna, a fireplace lounge area, shower room, and WC. In the Russian sauna, you can forget everything else and simply be, enjoying the moment. To enhance the experience, the Russian sauna is infused with the calming aroma of lavender. You can also use hay-filled pillows for added comfort while lying down. By resting your feet on a swing, you can improve circulation. The sauna room spans an area of 9 m². The sauna lounge area can accommodate up to 10 people for spending time together or celebrating special occasions.
How does the Russian sauna differ from a Finnish sauna? What makes the Russian sauna unique?
The Russian sauna is heated to around 65 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels at around 65%. The sauna stove has a special system that releases fine fraction steam when water is poured onto the stones. The sauna stones include jadeite, nephrite, white and red quartz rocks. While lying on the sauna bench, the body starts releasing toxins more effectively, and sweat is cleansed using birch whisks. After leaving the steam room, you can immerse yourself in a therapeutic shungite barrel, pour cold water over yourself, or take a refreshing shower.
What makes the Russian sauna at Metsakuurort special and particularly beneficial?
We offer handcrafted fermented fireweed tea (Ivan Tea) at Metsakuurort before and during the Russian sauna experience. Drinking warm tea before the sauna kickstarts perspiration from the inside out, enhancing the body’s detoxification process. Additionally, fireweed tea boosts the body’s resistance, refreshes, provides a sense of well-being, adds strength, and aids in the removal of toxins from the body.
*In the sauna, you can enjoy beating yourself with our handcrafted sauna whisks (birch, oak, lime, etc.).
Customers refer to our Russian sauna as the “Time Out Sauna.”
