SEASON'S HIGHLIGHTSThe secrets of the world famous Finnish Sauna18.02.2010 Sauna is not just a place to get clean. It's a place to take off your clothes and at the same time shake off your cares. Sauna is an essential part of Finnish culture and there is a wide range of different saunas in Finland. There are smoke saunas, wood-heated saunas, electrical saunas, mobile saunas etc. But who´s to say where will you find the very best one? Many Finns say that the best sauna is at their own summer cottage. Picture the scene. It's a warm, sunny evening at a Finnish lakeside cottage. There's barely a ripple on the water, except for an occasional fish rising for its supper. The sun is low on the horizon and a bird sits quietly on a post at the end of the dock. Suddenly the evening peace is shattered - and the bird flies away - as the sauna door is opened and someone runs to the dock and jumps into the lake.
Picture another scene. There aren't any birds and the sun is below the horizon. Snow covers the whole scenery. The lake is frozen except for a bit of open water at the end of the dock. And then someone walks out of the sauna and takes a dip in a hole in the frozen lake. (ref. visitfinland.com)
