Fjälludden bastu
Örnsköldsvik, Sweden
About
Örnsköldsvik kommun keeps a sauna building at Fjälludden, a natural harbour on Bäckfjärden reached by boat or by road. It is unstaffed and cannot be booked: bathers bring their own firewood for the sauna and the grill. A grill place and outhouses share the site.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
Hours
- Mon-Sun 00:00-24:00
Unstaffed shore sauna, open around the clock all year. The kommun warns it may close the site or part of it for repairs and posts that on its Naturguiden Facebook page rather than on this page.
