Rajoitetulta

Rajoitetulta is a term used in Finnish to describe a type of traditional Finnish sauna that is smaller and more intimate than the larger, communal saunas found in many Finnish homes. The term translates to "limited" or "restricted," reflecting the smaller size and more personal nature of these saunas. Rajoitetulta saunas are typically found in private homes or small communities and are often used for more personal and intimate sauna experiences.

These saunas are usually smaller in size, ranging from about 10 to 20 square meters, and are designed to accommodate a smaller number of people, often just one or two at a time. They are often heated using a wood-burning stove, which provides a more intimate and personal heating experience. The smaller size of the sauna also means that the heat rises more quickly, providing a more intense and immediate sauna experience.

Rajoitetulta saunas are often decorated with traditional Finnish sauna decor, such as wooden benches, sauna stones, and sauna blankets. They may also include a small area for drying off and changing clothes after the sauna session. The smaller size and more intimate nature of these saunas make them a popular choice for those seeking a more personal and intimate sauna experience.
