“Savisauna” (Clay sauna)
The clay sauna was built in May 2009 for an international presentation of sauna and wellness products. The builders arrived from Finland: Kalervo Södö and Lassi Helanen are both specialists in clay structures. Lassi also makes ice buildings, but they are a little more difficult to maintain in Hungary.
The structure of the clay sauna is simple. For the reinforcement of the plastering horse manure was used.
Clay and reeds serve as the building material of the sauna. They are ancient building materials that can be found almost everywhere. Our clay sauna is also a smoke sauna; it is heated from the outside for about 3-5 hours. In the smoke sauna you get soft aromatic steam, the healthy effect of which is further strengthened with various herbs and essential oils.
