Hindsgavl Slot

Hindsgavl Slot stands at the end of the castle avenue on the Hindsgavl peninsula in Middelfart, surrounded by the castle park and the Naturpark Lillebælt nature park. At the far end of the park the castle has its own small private beach with a bathing jetty and covered bathing huts facing Fænøsund, and this is where the sauna stands, with room for 12 people. The sauna sessions are held by the jetty with the option of a cold dip in the Little Belt, and bathrobes and slippers can be rented at reception. The castle has a restaurant and free parking close to the main building.

Sauna gus at Hindsgavl Slot takes place in the sauna down by the castle's bathing jetty, where there is room for 12 and the cold dip is taken straight in the Little Belt. A session is four rounds of heat, scent and essential oils chosen to match the season. It is not about show but about calm and balance - you are guided quietly through each round with the gus master's steady voice as your anchor in the heat, and there is space for breathing, silence and mindfulness. If you want the sauna to yourselves, you buy all 12 places. Come in good time and walk through the castle park first - and bring swimwear, bathing shoes, two large towels and a drinking bottle that is not plastic. You change in the bathing huts close to the sauna.
