Poppelly Wellness

Poppelly Wellness is located on a 19th-century farm in Lille Havdrup. Here, the sauna is heated by a wood-burning stove, which provides a different kind of warmth than traditional electric heaters. The area has been designated as a cultural environment. A sauna gus consists of four rounds of approximately 12 minutes, using essential oils. Between rounds, there is access to an ice bath and a cold shower. Fruit, nuts, and juice are served. The venue hosts themed gus events with music and various scents. The gus masters include Lars Juul, who built the sauna himself, and Lars Jarlen, who works with ceremonial elements. Pernille Hartmann, Freya Kristensen, and Kristina Lynge are also gus masters at the venue. Poppelly Wellness offers a "Gus Master Course" and arranges private events such as bachelor/bachelorette parties and Christmas lunches, where you can book the sauna and ice bath for a group.
