A Finnish sauna is a must for a visitor to Helsinki.
And the famous Kotiharju Sauna is the only remaining
public wood-burning sauna in Helsinki.
Only wood-burning saunas let you enjoy the mellow
heat of the traditional sauna experience.
Kotiharju Sauna, built in 1928, has maintained its original
architecture throughout the decades. Customers range from
the neighborhood regulars to bachelor parties and students
and teachers from the nearby university premises.
At Kotiharju, there is room for 20 – 30 bathers on the uppermost
benches, where the heat and steam (löyly) are the best
(and hottest). And if you like it less warm, there is more room
on the lower benches. In practice, löyly means pouring some
water on the hot stones – there is a water tap on the stove
(kiuas). The old rule is that whoever sits in the hottest place
gets to decide whether or not to make more löyly.
