Holiday home with a sauna in the Campine

Why the Campine for a stay with a sauna?

The Campine is ideal for those seeking quiet, and a sauna deepens that feeling. It is the stillest region in Flanders, with vast pine woods, purple heath and clear ponds. Hoge Kempen National Park lies nearby, with walking and cycling routes for every day. After a day in nature, a sauna is the logical finish. And because the homes here often lie secluded, you enjoy the sauna in full privacy, something rare in a busier region.

What do you find in a home with a sauna in the Campine?

Homes with a sauna in the Campine have a private sauna for your use only during your stay. The sauna is usually indoors in a separate room or in an outbuilding overlooking the garden. There is sometimes an infrared cabin or a steam room as well. Towels are not always provided, so ask or bring your own. The owner explains on arrival how to start the sauna and bring it up to temperature.

Tips for a sauna stay in the Campine

• Start the sauna well in advance. A classic Finnish sauna takes thirty to sixty minutes to reach temperature.
• Combine the sauna with a day in Hoge Kempen National Park. A long walk in the woods followed by a sauna eases the legs.
• Drink plenty of water around a sauna session. The heat makes you sweat, especially after an active day.
• Bring your own towels and bathing slippers if the home does not provide them. Ask when you book.
