    Host • Landet Stay

    Experience a Traditional Sauna by the Lake

    Step onto a floating sauna set within a private bay in Södermanland. You’ll heat the wood-fired stove yourself or with assistance, letting the temperature build steadily inside the timber room. Large windows face the water, keeping you connected to the lake while you warm up. Between sessions, you’ll step outside and lower yourself into the cold water directly from the deck.

    The contrast sharpens your senses and resets your body. You’ll set the pace, staying as long as it feels right. When finished, you’ll dry off and return feeling lighter, grounded and alert, carrying the calm of the water and heat back with you afterwards home.

Along the way, your guide shares context about local plants, wildlife and how people have lived with this landscape over time. Some outings include simple workshops outdoors, giving you space to observe and think rather than rush ahead.

    Nordic light shapes each walk, shifting across water, trees and rock as the day moves on. You’ll return with tired legs, a clearer head and a stronger sense of where you are by the end of the experience itself.

Routes vary with weather and confidence, giving you space to build skill without pressure. From the kayak, you’ll notice details missed from land, reeds along the edge, shifting reflections and the shape of the shoreline ahead.

    Short pauses let you adjust, rest or simply float before continuing. You’ll finish the outing feeling worked, steady and more comfortable navigating water under your own control.

    SÖDERMANLAND • SWEDEN

    Visit Scandinavia’s First Skyspace Art Installation

    Host • Landet Stay

    Visit Scandinavia’s First Skyspace Art Installation

    A short trip from Landet Stay leads to the remarkable Skyspace created by artist James Turrell. This installation is Scandinavia’s first Skyspace and the northernmost one in the world. Inside, a simple white dome opens to the sky through a circular aperture above.

    As daylight fades into evening, carefully timed lights shift in colour and brightness along the walls. The changing light alters how the sky appears through the opening, making it feel closer, deeper or almost like a moving canvas. A similar effect happens at sunrise. Sitting quietly inside allows time to notice subtle changes in light, colour and space.
