Cold bath in the heart of Bohuslän

BATHERS ARE HAPPIER

Cold bath - a kick for health and mood! Try the icy health trend of cold bathing, it is more than just a nice feeling. Saunas and cold baths improve heart health, reduce pain, strengthen the immune system and also improve cognitive abilities. It is thus a wellness that is more effective than previously thought.

UDDEVALLA

 

At Gustafsberg, Sweden's oldest bath and health resort, the association Uddevalla Kallbadare offers rental of a sauna in the old hot bath house for heating.

There are bathing ladders at Sunningen, Svenskholmen, Saxenhof, among others. If it is a dip in a lake that attracts, there is a bathing ladder at Hällestugan in Stora Hällesvattnet on Herrestadsfjället or at Bjursjön. The bath temperature?

Combine swimming with a overnight stay. We highly recommend a stay at Best Western Hotel Carlia or Bohusgården.

FANCY A SWIM BUT SCARED OF THE COLD

It's not dangerous to temporarily cool your body (if you are in goog health). After a few seconds, the body's own heating system is started and it does not feel so cold at all anymore. Think that the worst that can happen is that you freeze for a few seconds - it will not get worse than that, and afterwards you will feel warm, happy, calm and strong.

LJUNGSKILE

 

Swim from the bathing ladder at the popular Kallbadhuset, then seek shelter in one of the open changing rooms and enjoy a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate. If you want heat before or after your sea bath, you can rent a wood-fired sauna raft at Anfatseröds Gårdsvik

If you want to combine your cold bath with an overnight stay and a gastronomic experience beyond the ordinary, we can warmly recommend a visit to Villa Sjötorp.

PLAN AHEAD

Dress warmly with underlay, warm socks and gloves, a hat on your head and then a bathrobe. Some people use bathing shoes when they go into the water. Bring a large towel afterwards and a seat pad to stand on when you change if it is snowy or slippery. A thermos with hot drink is recommended!

BOKENÄSET 

 

At Destination Bokenäset you will find in an idyll interspersed in the middle of the salt-sprinkled nature, here you can swim from the bathing ladder and enjoy the sea sauna. Rent the sauna if you want some heat before or after your cold bath. Make it a full day and book a lunch or maybe dinner with overnight stay.

One of the west coast's most exciting leisure facilities Hafsten Resort also has a sea sauna for rent.
