Badstuer i Lappeenranta
Finland
Hva er de beste badstuene i Lappeenranta?
Lappeenranta sits on the shore of Lake Saimaa, Finland's largest lake. The sauna culture is inseparable from this water geography — public waterfront saunas on the lake, sauna cruise boats on Saimaa, and cabin saunas on the lake's thousands of islands. Lappeenranta is the largest city of South Karelia, historically connected to Russian bathing culture (the Russian border is 30km east), and some venues blend Finnish and Russian sauna traditions. The Linnoitus fortress quarter and harbour front are walkable from central venues.
