Adventuremine - Lady of the mine sauna ritual

Experience the world’s most unique sauna through the transcendent lady of the mine sauna ritual! Join us on a guided sauna experience where Nordic Sauna Stories, with its mystery and knowledge, will make you lose track of time and space for a while.

The legend says that the lady of the mine watched over the mine and could warn the miners of upcoming dangers or show where the large ore deposits were. This experience is designed as a tribute to her essence, that was an important part of the mine and is an epic contrast to life above ground. Your senses will travel from heat to cool, from soft to hard and from darkness to light at the same time as the endorphins flow in your body. Feel the history flow through the tunnels of the mountain while wondering how you will ever be able to bathe in a normal sauna again! You enter the mine walking through the shaft that was used for the miners and the tour continues in the tunnels and big caverns before you reach the legendary sauna. At the sauna plateau you change your clothes in a rustic environment. Your sauna guide will help you to stimulate your senses in the most amazing way and you will feel the endorphins flow long after the ritual. Background In southern Dalarna - where evenly landscape meets the vast forests - you will find the small village of Tuna Hästberg. With a population that is almost as high as the average age - you don't see many people. The first thing you meet is the old head frame of the mine - where the ore elevators went up and emptied tons of ore. It suddenly feels like time has stood still since the iron ore mine closed in 1968. 30 years later, in 1998, a couple of young boys started to re-explore the abandoned mine. They loved what they discovered and started to bring guests down the mine to share their treasure.
