Sauna

 Best things in life must be experienced...

 ...the smell of fresh birch leaves...

 ...the softness of a towel on the naked skin..



 

Getting ready to end the day in a steamy hot room...









 Sauna stove getting hot...

 ...not hot enough yet! (This is in celcius).





'Löyly'
1. Steam and the associated heat in a sauna.
2.Generated by administering water on the hot stones placed on top of a sauna stove.

Did you know there are ways to describe 'löyly'?
It can be soft, sharp, good, sweet or dry, among other things.







 
 This is good.




We're done.


Hung to dry.



Welcome any time!
