Every forest sauna in Tampere
Hangaslahti Sauna
€€Tampere, Finland
A smoke sauna and an electric sauna on a lake shore in forest about 13 km from central Tampere, in a 1968 building extended in 2006. A group hires the whole place, with an outdoor hot tub, a grill on the veranda and a separate meeting room. Swimming is in the lake in summer and an ice hole in winter.
Kaukajärven Sauna
€Tampere, Finland
A lakeside public sauna on the shore of Kaukajärvi in eastern Tampere, run by the swimming club Uinti Tampere ry. Two sauna buildings open daily through the year, with swimming straight off the shore and ice swimming in winter. A kiosk sells refreshments in summer.
Rajaportin Sauna
€Tampere, Finland
Finland's oldest public sauna, in operation since 1906 in Tampere. The wood-heated stove and the dark, low-ceilinged sauna room have not fundamentally changed in over a century. A pilgrimage for anyone who cares about sauna tradition.
Saunatemppeli
€Tampere, Finland
A wood-fired yurt sauna on the Näsijärvi shore at Kaupinoja in Tampere, sharing the beach with the older public sauna there. Walk in during opening hours and pay the sauna tender directly, or use a ten-visit card. Swimming is from the shore, year round.
