The sauna is a traditional Finnish sauna with a wood heated stove, water pot (to get warm water for washing) and of course direct access to the lake for swimming. The sauna has 1 hour turns and the first goer is responsible for heating up the sauna (if it's your first time please ask advise from the cafeteria). The heating takes about one hour and the wood can be found from the shed next to the sauna. Please remember to add wood to the sauna oven and the water pot to give a nice and hot sauna for the next goer as well. Also add fresh water to the cold tank. \u00a0\nAdditional tips for newcomers to the sauna\u00a0\u00a0\nGet undressed, there is no reason for swimming suits either :)\u00a0Make some warm water by mixing the hot water from the pot and cold water from the tank. Give yourself a quick wash.\u00a0Get into the sauna with a bowl of water. Increase the humidity by throwing water on the stones. The temperature should be around 70-100 degrees, it\u2019s up to you how hot you like it.\u00a0After a few minutes of perspiring, refresh yourself by jumping into the lake.\u00a0Repeat as many times as you wish and finally have a good wash. In Finland most people would have at least two sessions in the hot room. \u00a0Remember to look into the stoves a couple of times during your turn. If the wood has almost burnt out add 3-4 pieces. Always add a few pieces of wood before you leave the sauna.\u00a0Get dressed only after your body temperature has returned to normal and you have stopped perspiring. \u00a0\nThe sauna is in use from May until October.\u00a0\nPlease clean up, leave no trash behind you and lock the door when you leave. \u00a0\u00a0"},"yoast_head":"\n
