Kategoriisiin

Kategoriisiin is a term that originates from the Finnish language, where it refers to a specific type of traditional Finnish sauna. The term translates to "category sauna" in English, but it is more accurately described as a communal or public sauna, often found in rural areas or small towns. These saunas are typically open to the public and are used by the community for relaxation, socializing, and physical health benefits.

The architecture of kategoriisiin saunas is often simple and rustic, with a small, heated room where people can sit and relax. The sauna is typically heated using a wood-burning stove, and the heat is maintained by adding more wood as needed. The sauna is usually accompanied by a small outdoor area where people can cool down after their sauna session.

Kategoriisiin saunas are an important part of Finnish culture and tradition, and they continue to be used by many Finns today. They provide a unique opportunity for people to connect with their community and experience the benefits of traditional Finnish sauna culture. However, due to modern lifestyle changes and the increasing popularity of private saunas, the number of kategoriisiin saunas has been declining in recent years.
