Erillisiä

Erillisiä is a term used in Finnish to refer to a type of traditional Finnish sauna, which is a communal bathing facility. The term translates to "separate" or "apart," reflecting the fact that these saunas are typically separate from the main living area of a home or village. Erillisiä saunas are an integral part of Finnish culture and are often found in rural areas, where they serve as a social gathering place for the community.

These saunas are usually built from wood and feature a simple design, with a small room for changing clothes and a larger room for the sauna itself. The sauna is heated using a wood-burning stove, and the heat is retained by the thick walls of the building. The sauna is typically used for relaxation and socializing, and it is common for people to gather in the sauna for extended periods of time, often accompanied by traditional Finnish snacks and drinks.

Erillisiä saunas are an important part of Finnish heritage, and they continue to be used and maintained by many communities today. They are also a popular tourist attraction, with many visitors coming to Finland to experience the unique culture and traditions associated with these saunas.
