voluutti

Voluutti is a term used in Finnish to describe a type of traditional Finnish sauna. The word "voluutti" is derived from the Swedish word "volut," which means "to roll" or "to turn." This refers to the way the sauna is typically constructed, with a central fireplace that is surrounded by a circular or oval room. The heat from the fireplace is distributed evenly throughout the sauna, creating a comfortable and relaxing environment.

Voluutti saunas are often found in rural areas of Finland, where they have been a traditional part of Finnish culture for centuries. They are typically made of wood and are heated using a wood-burning stove. The sauna is usually divided into two sections: the hot section, where the temperature can reach up to 100 degrees Celsius, and the cool section, where the temperature is lower and more comfortable.

Voluutti saunas are known for their simplicity and rustic charm. They are often decorated with traditional Finnish art and artifacts, and they are a popular destination for tourists who want to experience authentic Finnish culture. The sauna is typically used for relaxation and socializing, and it is an important part of Finnish social life.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in voluutti saunas, as more people seek out traditional Finnish experiences. Many modern voluutti saunas have been built to preserve and promote this traditional Finnish practice. Despite their simplicity, voluutti saunas remain an important part of Finnish culture and heritage.
