Autumn Evening with Sauna Experience, Fishing, Dinner and Northern Lights

When we arrive to the Soma Hideout wilderness cabin, we heat up the sauna by the lake. Heating a traditional sauna involves lighting a fire and carrying water to the pot. While the sauna heats up, we fish perch from the landing stage, boat or canoe and smoke it for our dinner.

Once the sauna is heated, we enjoy its soft baths. If you want, you can take a dip in the lake from time to time. The interaction of hot and cold improves blood circulation and refreshes. You can feel it in the pinch of your skin as you rise from the cool water back into the warmth of the sauna. The sauna experience includes towels, soft drinks and, if you wish, a face mask and a refreshing herbal bath for your feet.

During your sauna experience, a dinner table is prepared either outside by the lake or in the wilderness cabin, depending on the weather. Smoked perch and potatoes, Lappish bread and squeeky cheese with coffee or tea taste delicious after the sauna.

If we are really lucky, we may see the northern lights in the sky at the end of the evening, which in autumn are also reflected impressively from the surface of the lake. That's when we will be ready with our cameras.
