koodireunot

Koodireunot, also known as koodireuna or koodireunat, are a type of traditional Finnish sauna. The term "koodireuna" translates to "wooden bench" in English, referring to the wooden benches that are typically found in these saunas. Koodireunot are often associated with the rural and forest areas of Finland, where they were traditionally used for communal gatherings and socializing.

These saunas are typically small, with a single room where the sauna stove is located. The room is usually heated by a wood-burning stove, which is placed in the center of the room. The walls and ceiling are often made of wood, and the floor is typically covered with a wooden bench or a few benches. The benches are usually placed around the stove, allowing people to sit and relax while enjoying the heat.

Koodireunot are often used for socializing and relaxation, and they are a popular destination for tourists visiting Finland. They are also used for traditional Finnish activities such as storytelling, singing, and playing traditional instruments. The use of koodireunot has declined in recent years due to the increasing popularity of larger, more modern saunas, but they remain an important part of Finnish cultural heritage.
