19 Photo by PublicDomainPictures Sauna Sauna is something you simply cannot miss! If possible, visit a traditional wood-heated sauna. In the summer, swim in a lake after sauna. You can dip into a lake in the winter, too but it s cold! You can spice up the experience with vihta, (or vasta) (=a large whisk made of birch branches). You use it to gently hit yourself or your fellow saunagoers (this is good for blood circulation). For hardcore enthusiasts, there is the smoke sauna, which is a sauna without a chimney: after the sauna is heated and the fire put out, the smoke is ventilated out, and the sauna is ready for use (works on residual heat).
