What a unique and refreshing experience! Your description of the public sauna and winter swimming paints a vivid picture of Finnish tradition and the photos definitely adds an extra layer to the story.
Cheers to cozy, functional, and century-old saunas! 🍷
Back in "the day", children were born in saunas as it was the most sterile place in the home. :D
What?!!! I didn't know and nor did I even think something like that. Sounds cool.
