Wood-Fired Saunas in Oslo (2026 Guide)
Most of Oslo's floating saunas use wood-fired stoves — the smell of birch smoke drifting across the Oslofjord is part of the experience. KOK's sailing saunas run wood-fired stones reaching 90°C; Oslo Badstuforening's moored pavilions use wood heat with direct fjord ladder access. Wood-fired heat produces a softer, more enveloping löyly than electric stoves.
