About
An open-air bathhouse on a pier reaching into the Öresund, in operation since 1898 and known locally as 'Ribban'. Several saunas, one of them wood-fired, feed a ritual of heat then a ladder straight down into the sea. Gender-separated open-air bathing and a long-running Aufguss tradition; time it for sunset over the strait.
Good to know
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- 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.
- A historic sauna with heritage worth the trip on its own, whether the building, the tradition, or both.
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
