Sauna session in a traditional Old Võromaa smoke sauna at Mooska

The Smoke sauna traditions of Old Võromaa have found their honoured spot on the list of UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of the world. At Mooska Farm, you can try a piece of this ancient Estonian heritage for yourself.

A traditional sauna session lasts at least three (3) hours and the smoke sauna of Mooska Farm can comfortably accommodate eight people. The rich aroma of burning wood is complemented by a whispered note of meat smoked in the sauna, birch boughs, and sauna honey. Since it's located next to a pond, during the winter, you can quickly dip yourself in the nearby icy waters.

In addition, the hosts provide guests with thorough explanations about the history, rituals and customs of the smoke sauna, ensuring that every visitor can experience authentic Vana-Võromaa heritage. The peaceful surroundings and unhurried pace allow you to fully disconnect and experience the sauna as a healing and unifying ritual.

Good to know: The price includes guidance throughout the sauna visit, a sauna towel, birch whisks, sauna honey and herbal tea. Both body and soul will feel refreshed!
