Karlshamns Kallbadhus
Karlshamn, Sweden
About
Karlshamns Kallbadhus sits in a bay behind Väggabadet, looking out over Hanöbukten. The association Kallbadhusets Vänner i Vägga runs it, with separate men's and women's sides. Each has a sauna, showers and steps down into the sea, and a shared lounge joins them.
Good to know
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
