Historically people visited the sauna, which was originally a heated cave or pit, to keep warm during winter. Thankfully the traditional Finnish sauna has evolved somewhat since its invention.
Nowadays a Finnish sauna is a cosy wood-lined building or room, warmed to a temperature of around 80°C (176°F). It’s a place where Finns come to unwind, whether that’s on their own or with friends and family.
An integral part of Finnish saunas is a pile of hot stones that sit atop the heat source. While you’re in the sauna, you’ll see bathers occasionally ladling water from the sauna bucket onto these rocks. This creates steam and maintains the humidity of the sauna.
