SAUNA RAUHANIEMI

A historic sauna, built in 1929, near Lake Näsijärvi. It's famous in winter for swimming in the icy water just after the sauna: you'll see Finns in bathing suits coming out of the sauna, still steaming, walking barefoot and then taking a leisurely swim in the frozen lake. If you're brave (or daredevil) you can try it too! In summer, you can sunbathe on the nearby beach and swim in the lake. And for those not used to saunas, there are three with different heat levels.
