Hogga Badstulag

Hogga Badstulag is based at the Hogga lock on the Telemark Canal outside Lunde, where a wood-fired sauna and ice bathing in the canal water have become a beloved winter ritual in the village.

The club is volunteer-run, with a season from October to April and regular sauna days on Sundays. Membership is affordable and gives access to weekly booking, and friends can be invited along for a trial session. The whole sauna can also be rented privately for up to six people.

Payment is handled with Vipps, and firing, cleaning, and stacking wood are done together – true volunteer spirit at one of the canal's most beautiful locks.
