In the heart of Toosikannu’s ancient forest, something truly special awaits you – Metsaspaa.
Metsaspaa is a sauna and nature ritual that touches the body, mind, and soul. It is a slow, intentional journey where hot steam, forest scents, and the power of nature merge into one holistic experience. Here, surrounded by silence and the sounds of the forest, you can release everyday tension, restore inner balance, and gently return to yourself.
For centuries, the sauna has been much more than a place for washing – it is a natural ritual of restoration that helps both body and mind rest and regain inner balance.
The warmth and steam of the sauna open the pores, relax the muscles, and help release accumulated tension and stress. It is one of the most natural ways to calm the nervous system, allowing the body to shift from “fight or flight” into a state of peace and balance.
The Forest Spa ritual in Toosikannu Nature Resort takes this experience one step further. Forest sounds, the aroma of spruce, and the glow of the starry sky create a space where the body and mind can finally simply be. And if you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the park’s wildlife in their natural habitat.
Forest Spa is the fastest path to deep relaxation and nervous system calm – nature’s own way of restoring and rebalancing you from within.
Harmony of nature and body–mind balance
Imagine yourself immersed in a warm forest bath at a nature resort, surrounded by spruce branches and slices of orange, with forest sounds echoing beneath a star-filled sky.
The gentle touch of spruce branches feels like a natural massage, while the fresh citrus notes create a soft aromatherapy experience that calms, restores, and deeply relaxes.
Spruce branches – a Nordic forest healer
The use of spruce branches in sauna and forest spa rituals is an ancient Nordic tradition. The essential oils released from spruce needles (mainly pinenes and limonene) support the respiratory system and create a strong, natural aromatherapy effect. They also help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and cleanse energy — grounding the body in the rhythms of the forest.
Orange slices – a symbol of warmth and sunlight
Oranges (and citrus fruits in general) found their way into sauna and forest spa rituals through Mediterranean and Eastern bathing traditions.
The essential oil in orange peel is known for its mood-lifting and nervous-system-soothing properties. It adds brightness and lightness to the deep forest aromas, bringing a gentle touch of sun energy — especially comforting during colder seasons.
When these two elements meet — forest spruce and warm orange — balance is created: earth and light, forest and sun, depth and freshness. This harmony reflects the essence of a forest spa experience and the body–mind balance at the heart of Forest Spa.
Spruce Needle Drink & Carrot Drink
These natural elixirs, freshly prepared by our chefs, support the immune system, improve circulation, and give the body renewed energy.
Their flavors sit somewhere between forest and sunshine — one invigorates, the other soothes, both restore and gently guide you back into natural balance.
A special sauna infusion, created for your senses
Our signature sauna infusions are crafted especially for you — so that the steam feels just right and in harmony with your senses. Balanced, natural, and refreshing. The perfect amount has already been carefully calibrated — all you need to do is pour the chosen infusion into the sauna water and allow the aroma to carry you.
The power of deer antler for your balance
During the Forest Spa ritual, you’ll also experience something truly rare — deer antler massage tools handcrafted by the masters of Toosikannu, combining wild strength with gentle care.
Deer antler is a natural, time-honored material that has long symbolized strength, renewal, and balance. Its structure is warm, strong, and alive — ideal for balancing the body’s energy flow and releasing muscle tension.
The facial gua sha tool helps improve circulation and lymphatic flow, revealing the skin’s natural glow and vitality. With regular use, it helps reduce puffiness and leaves the face looking rested and clear.
The acupressure deep-massage tool is designed for the entire body — it helps relieve muscle tension, supports deep relaxation, and balances energy channels, bringing a feeling of lightness and calm throughout the body.
