Sauna Region week: Sauna Village Saturday Evening Public Sauna

Sauna Village Saturday Evening Public Sauna - during Sauna Region Week we celebrate Finnish sauna heritage Opening hours: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Saunakylä - Sauna Village is a unique smoke sauna village located in Juokslahti, Jämsä, featuring over 20 traditional Finnish smoke saunas dating from the 1700s to the 1940s. 10–14 saunas are heated for public use every Saturday from mid-May to late September. Carefully restored and originally from various regions of Finland, the saunas are actively used rather than preserved as static exhibits. This practice keeps both the historic structures and authentic Finnish sauna traditions alive, offering visitors a truly living cultural experience. Entrance Fee: €20 (Free for children under 16) Tickets available at the Saunakylä Café On-Site Facilities Saunakylä provides separate changing rooms and showers for men and women, as well as three warm-water washing stations. Visitors can swim in Lake Päijänne and use the campfire areas or two gas grills for cooking. The on-site café sells drinks and light snacks. What to Bring Please bring swimwear, a towel or bathrobe, bench linen, a sauna hat, and a water bottle. Footwear such as flip-flops or Crocs is recommended. Towels and bench linen are also available for rent on-site if needed. No reservation is required — just come and enjoy a genuine Finnish smoke sauna experience!
