Why Finns Love Saunas
Saunas hold a special place in the hearts of Finns. Two enthusiasts, Nea Mänty and her friend, share what makes their favorite sauna so dear.
“At the cottage we use the sauna every day. It’s an essential part of our family’s cottage life.”
Nea, a 24-year-old student, describes her family's 1950s cottage sauna on Lake Myllylampi, Vihti, as small but effective, heating up in half an hour and fitting five people.
- She prefers wood-heated saunas over electric ones, enjoying the sense of ownership that comes with lighting the fire herself.
- Nea and her best friend have developed a routine of building fires and taking care of the kiuas and washing water tank.
- They also use sauna scents, especially during the darker winter months.
In the city, Nea tries to visit a sauna at least once a week, highlighting the importance of saunas in Finnish daily life.
