Pirčių Sodas Authentic Lithuanian Sauna Garden

What Makes Lithuanian Sauna Different?
Unlike Finnish sauna, Lithuanian pirtis focuses on the ritual of vanojimas (whisking with birch branches) — a gentle, meditative practice that combines aromatherapy, massage, and spiritual renewal.
Gentle Heat
60-80°C vs Finnish 80-100°C. Longer, more comfortable sessions.
Whisking Ritual
Vanojimas combines massage, aromatherapy, and ancient healing.
Cultural Heritage
Included on Intangible Cultural Heritage List since 2020.
