Then head to the Sans Souci site in the picturesque village of Iliašovce, located in eastern Slovakia in the Košický kraj region. Tucked away in its forest, hidden from the eyes of passers-by, is a unique wooden sauna that you can use specifically for relaxation and recreation.

You can enjoy the positive and detoxifying effects on the human body if you visit this unique natural sauna. A private individual stood behind its creation. Their main goal was an escape from the everyday world into a natural environment with the intention of doing something good for their body as well. Looking into our history, we can discover that the origin of saunaville dates back to 4000 BC. Even back then, baths such as the Turkish or Arabian hammam, Roman public baths, or the Korean sauna were known. We only learn about the Finnish sauna in 1112, when it served to heat dwellings in Finland.

Here, you will light up the wood-burning stove and take a seat on your chosen wooden bench. For a full 15 minutes, enjoy the indescribable view of the soothing nature, where you might even catch a glimpse of wild game. After this time, cold air will stroke your heated body, and with determination, you will step down to a wooden tub filled with cold water. You can freely repeat this process 2 to 3 times. However, after each cycle, do not forget to take a moment to pause and "tune into yourself" in the relaxation room. You might be so tired that you even take a short nap. Make sure to bring your own towels, sheets, or slippers with you, as these are not provided at the sauna. If you plan to use the sauna in the evening hours, it is also advisable to pack flashlights or your own light source.

You too can come and enjoy the beneficial effects that act on the entire human organism. It will relieve your tension, strengthen blood circulation, rejuvenate your skin, and speed up your metabolism. Thanks to sweating, you will get rid of undesirable substances from your body. A stay in the sauna is recommended for visitors who do not suffer from any health complications. To enjoy sauna bathing to the fullest, we recommend booking accommodation near Lesná sauna Iliašovce.
