Saunaen Ballen Havn
Ballen, Denmark
About
Samsø Kommune runs this sauna at Ballen, the island's busiest marina, beside the harbour office and the changing rooms. Access works on a personal code bought from the harbour staff, which also opens the bathing rooms and the shared common house. A local winter bathing club holds reserved slots in it.
Good to know
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
Hours
- Hours not listed
Winter season only: the sauna and bathing facilities run 1 October to 30 April. Cleaning closes the sauna and changing room on Monday and Friday mornings, and the SIKU winter bathing club holds fixed slots posted on a calendar in the anteroom.
