Holy smoke – Gathering of mobile Saunas. Part1.

Can You imagine that there exist Saunas on wheels? Can You imagine that they meet every summer? I guess that nobody. Since 2005 in Teuva there has been organized mobile Sauna gathering. In 2016 they were cancelled. When You see my photos, You might say in Your mind that ‘they are crazy those Finns’. Imagination has been free when planning and building mobile Saunas. Delightful is that the idea had spread abroad, which was touchable, because there were also Saunas, from Poland, Italy and Germany. My post is in two parts.

Many Saunas were warmed up, because smoke was coming from chimneys and afternoon there were possibility to have a Sauna in them.

Teuva – where? Nearby the western coast in south Ostrobothnia. Distance from Helsinki is 381 km / 267 mi and from Oulu 404 km / 251 mi. When? Last weekend in July. We visited there on Saturday July, 27 2017. Was it worth of road trip? Yes. Next year it will be Your summer happening target in Finland. If You decide to come, then here is exact address for navigator: Parrantie 27, 64700 Teuva.

En español:

¡Vaya! Reunión de Saunas Móviles. Parte 1.

¿Podes vos imaginar que existen Saunas sobre ruedas? ¿Podes vos imaginar que se reunirán cada verano? Supongo que nadie. Desde 2005 en Teuva se ha organizado la reunión de Sauna móvil. En 2016 fueron cancelados. Cuando vos ves mis fotos, podrías decir en tu mente que ‘están locos esos finlandeses’. La imaginación ha sido libre al planear y construir Saunas móviles. Es muy deleitable que la idea se había extendido en el extranjero, que era emotivo, porque también había Saunas, de Polonia, Italia y Alemania. Mi puesto está dividido en dos partes.

Muchas Saunas se calentaban, porque el humo provenía de chimeneas y por la tarde había posibilidad de ir a la sauna en ellas.

Teuva – ¿dónde? Cerca de la costa occidental en Ostrobothnia del sur. La distancia desde Helsinki es 381 km / 267 millas y desde Oulu 404 km / 251 millas. ¿Cuando? El pasado fin de semana de julio. Visitamos allí el sábado 27 de julio de 2017. ¿Merece la pena de viaje por carretera? Sí. ¿El próximo año será su destino de verano en Finlandia? Si usted decide venir, entonces aquí es la dirección exacta para el navegador: Parrantie 27, 64700 Teuva.

En francais:

Mazette! Rassemblement des Saunas mobiles. Partie 1.

Pouvez-vous imaginer qu’il existen des Saunas sur roues? Pouvez-vous imaginer Ils se réuniront régulièrement chaque été? Je suppose que personne. Depuis 2005, à Teuva, un rassemblement de sauna mobile a été organisé .Bien que n 2016, ils ont été annulés. Lorsque vous voyez mes photos, vous pourriez dire dans votre esprit que ‘ils sont fous de ces Finlandais. L’imagination était sans limites lors de la planification et de la construction de Saunas mobiles. C’était un plaisir que l’idée s’est propagée à l’étranger, ce qui était émouvant, car il y avait aussi des Saunas, de Pologne, d’Italie et d’Allemagne. Mon post est en deux parties.

Beaucoup de Saunas ont été réchauffés, parce que la fumée venait des cheminées et l’après-midi, il y avait la possibilité d’aller au sauna.

Teuva – où? A proximité de la côte ouest du sud de l’Ostrobotnie. La distance de Helsinki est de 381 km / 267 mi et d’Oulu 404 km / 251 mi. Quand? Dernier week-end de Juillet. Nous avons visité là le samedi 27 juillet 2017. Cela en valait-il la peine de faire un voyage sur la route? Oui. L’année prochaine, ce sera votre objectif d’été en Finlande? Si vous décidez de venir, alors voici l’adresse exacte du navigateur: Parrantie 27, 64700 Teuva.

Em Português:

Minha nossa! Reunião das Saunas móveis. Parte 1.

Você pode imaginar que existem Saunas sobre rodas? Você pode imaginar que eles se encontram todos cada verão? Acho que ninguém. Desde 2005, em Teuva, foi organizada a reunião de Saunas ambulantes. Em 2016, foram cancelados. Quando você olha as minhas fotos, você pode dizer em sua mente que ‘eles são doidos aqueles finlandeses’. A imaginação foi gratuita ao planejar e construir saunas ambulantes. Delicioso é que a idéia foi se espalhando para o estrangeiro, o que era comovente, porque também havia Saunas, da Polônia, Itália e Alemanha.
O meu post é em duas partes.

Muitas saunas foram aquecidas, porque a fumaça vieram de chaminés e a tarde existia a possibilidade de ter uma sauna nelas.

Teuva – onde? Perto da costa ocidental no sul de Ostrobotnia. A distância de Helsínquia é de 381 km / 267 mi e de Oulu 404 km / 251 mi. Quando? No último final de semana do mês de Julho. Visitamos lá no sábado, 27 de julho de 2017. Valeu a pena para fazer a viagem de estrada? Sim. No próximo ano, será o seu destino do verão na Finlândia? Se você decidirá vir, então aqui está o endereço exato para o navegador: Parrantie 27, 64700 Teuva.

      You are right these Saunas on wheels are surprising – even to us also. I have presented one for a long time ago and I was excited when seeing It. Saunas are important to us, to my wife and me. We have a Sauna in our apartment home and we use it every Saturday. Thank You commenting.

      Thank You commenting. Nearly only in Finland, because the idea has spread in Europe. 🙂 Next post shows an Italian, Polish and German Saunas on wheels. The German Sauna travels here and there in Europe and thus spreads the idea.

    But I’m in doubt as to what the different road authorities have to say when these saunas are transported along the autobahn and similar roadsystems throughhout Europe? 😀

      Italian and German Saunas have no problems, but Polish, if they took the Autobahn, which I doubt. Next post shows to You those Saunas. Thank You.

  23. What a great event – I’ll have to put it on my itinerary next time I visit Finland! Are you also aware that Finns in the U.S. are also promoting a traveling sauna as part of the Suomi 100 celebration stateside? So far it has traveled around the west coast and is now in the mid-west: http://www.travelingsauna.com/ So Americans are getting an introduction to saunas and Finland also! Thanks so much for sharing your photos Matti.

  24. I love all the different designs, but was most surprised by the car! I expected it to be only for towing the sauna. Did you try any of them yourself? I’d be interested to know how they compare to regular saunas.

    Thank you for sharing this very Finnish event! Enjoy the rest of your week.

    • Hello Emily.

      Thank You for Your kind comment. Well, we did not have time for visiting Saunas, because the trip from Oulu and back was long in addition to this weekend traffic is slow. Those Saunas inside apartment building differ from these that in apartment buildings Saunas are warmed by electricity, but these by firewood and they are best. There are similar Saunas inside detached homes and in those Saunas, which are by lakesides. If You have time and interested to see our old Sauna when we lived nearby to Helsinki, then

      Our Sauna.

      There are good instructions to visit Sauna.

      Happy upcoming weekend.

  25. “Mobile Sauna gathering” – what a surprise! Probably the last thing I would have bet on, Matti. 😀
    It’s a pleasure to have a look at such different designs and basic materials.. I hardly expected the car itself to be a sauna and I had to smile about the type “greenhouse”. The wooden saunas are very nice!
    I’ am now looking forward to seeing your second part! Till soon!

  31. Hello (^ ^)
    Presence of mobile sauna I knew for the first time! Is there a lot of people there who want to enter the sauna until moving? A number of unique designs surprised me.

  43. Oh, this is great! Thank you so much for the info on this. You are right; I had no idea. Although somehow the concept was familiar. It is possible someone told me about it but I have since long forgotten if that were the case. I asked my partner and he had never heard of it, either!

    A lovely day to you! 😊

    • Hello Nasuko.

      If You never have not visited a real Finnish Sauna, You cannot understand it. Most favorite way to experience is by the lakes. Imagine the silence except birds song. Then to Sauna, then swimming in the lake, back to Sauna and back to swimming. The feeling in is understandable. If sometime in Your life, rent a (log) cabin by the lake in Finland.

      Two links. First shows our summer cottage lives. Second, when we hired a summer cottage.
