Birk "den bresne"

Meet Birk – an authentic sauna experience right in the heart of Sandnes!

At the very beginning of Strandgata, offering a fantastic view up the Gandsfjord, you’ll find Birk – a spacious, wood-fired sauna built in the classic style of a coastal boathouse, complete with a gabled roof. We’ve combined traditional craftsmanship, intense heat, and refreshing fjord dips to create a truly unique experience by the water’s edge.

Birk accommodates up to 14 people and features a powerful, wood-fired stove from Harvia, ensuring plenty of heat. The sauna interior is clad in beautiful, heat-treated aspen, with sturdy benches made of thermally modified timber. A spacious changing area provides ample room to get ready and hang up your clothes.

Outside, Birk’s own private bathing oasis awaits! Enjoy the view over the fjord, take a leap from the diving board, or step calmly into the water using a solid ladder with a handrail. A dedicated freshwater rainfall shower is also available, perfect for rinsing off between sauna sessions.

Whether you want to challenge yourself with a bracing plunge into the fjord or simply sit back and enjoy the warmth with good friends, Birk is ready to welcome you.

Warm up thoroughly, dive in, and feel truly alive!
