Bästa bastun – a barrel-shaped floating sauna on Borsöknasjön on a sunny day

BORSÖKNASJÖN · ESKILSTUNA, SWEDEN

Bästa bastun. Your floating sauna in Sweden.

Enjoy a wood-fired floating sauna on Borsöknasjön, near Eskilstuna. Relax by the shore or head out onto the lake when conditions allow.

One sauna. One lake. One really good moment.

It starts with the scent of firewood and the warmth of the stove. Outside, Borsöknasjön is waiting. Gather family and friends for time in the sauna, cool off in the lake or, when conditions allow, let the sauna become part of the lake itself.

A little piece of Swedish lake life

The sauna sits on Borsöknasjön, near Eskilstuna in Södermanland, Sweden. It's where wood-fired warmth, lake water and nature come together – along with time spent with the people you care about. The lake has its own mood in every season. When the ice lies on the lake, we saw an ice hole for a swim.
