i'm from finland [img]smile.gif[/img]

and here is a bit info from the Finnish sauna societys site:

"In the old smoke saunas the temperature varied from about 50 to 75°C (122 to 167°F). The lower the temperature the more water was generally used and the more humid was the resulting heat. A higher temperature with less humidity was considered better. By today´s standards these temperatures seem rather low. The recommendation now is 80-90°C (176-194°F) with moderate humidity, but in many saunas today the temperature exceeds 100°C (212°F), at least at the beginning. When a traditional wood burning sauna is heated for many people, the temperature must be high at first or otherwise the last bathers would not have enough heat left."

so. being in the sauna isn't about having it as hot as possible. the ultimate situation is to have about 80-90°C and humidity instead of a dry sauna. that's when it feels good. [img]smile.gif[/img]

oh and don't forget the cold beer .. and maybe some sausage. It works very well to take sausage and wrap it in metallic foil and there after placing it on the stones for the time you are in the sauna. when u are done you have got a tasty meal to look forward to [img]smile.gif[/img]

I used saunas twice. Once in a hotel with one of my friends. The other time was after playing squash. I enjoyed it both times and I would go more often, but unfortunately in Hungary there aren't too many saunas.
