Halkeamaverkostojen

Halkeamaverkostojen is a term used to describe a type of traditional Finnish sauna, which translates to "split log sauna" in English. These saunas are characterized by their unique design, where the heating element is a large, split log of wood that is placed on the floor of the sauna. The log is then ignited, and as it burns, it heats the sauna and the surrounding air.

The split log sauna is a popular choice for many Finns, as it provides a more natural and authentic sauna experience compared to modern electric saunas. The heat generated by the burning log is said to be more intense and longer-lasting than that of an electric sauna, providing a more immersive and relaxing experience.

The split log sauna is typically used in conjunction with a nearby water source, such as a river or lake, where the sauna-goer can cool off and refresh themselves after the sauna session. This is an important part of the traditional Finnish sauna experience, as it helps to balance the heat and promote overall well-being.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in split log saunas in Finland, as well as in other countries, due to their unique design and the growing interest in traditional and natural ways of living. Many modern split log saunas are now being built with sustainable and eco-friendly materials, reflecting the increasing awareness of environmental issues.
