Lilleborg Elvebadstue

In the heart of Oslo, along the calm waters of the Akerselva river, you'll find a little gem: Lilleborg Elvebadstue. This charming, neighborhood-run sauna was built with love by local enthusiasts and offers a warm, authentic experience you won't soon forget. Simple Nordic aesthetics meet raw nature and genuine community here – a breather from everyday life.

The sauna is self-service, has an electric heater, and room for up to eight people. It's beautifully located on Ivan Bjørndals gate, with easy access from Sagene and Torshov. With a changing room available and the chance for a refreshing dip in the river between sessions, everything is set up for a complete experience.

Whether you want a quiet moment alone, a sweat with friends, or to introduce the kids to sauna culture, Lilleborg Elvebadstue is open and available. Here you can unwind, let your shoulders drop, and feel the calm – right in the middle of the city.

It's run on a non-profit basis, and all proceeds go back to the community in the form of inclusive activities for the neighborhood. When you book a time with us, you're contributing not only to your own well-being but also to a warmer, livelier local community.
