About
The sauna is an iconic and integral part of Finnish culture. It is listed by Unesco as an Intangible Cultural Heratige of Humanity. Finns have been using saunas for hundreds of years and traditionally, the sauna has been considered a mystical, sacred space where people can cleanse their bodies and minds and embrace a sense of inner peace.
