Sauna is a mixed sauna, swim suit mandatory. There are two saunas and you can use both the saunas during public hours.

Small dressing rooms without showers are located nearby (DURING CORONA TIME NOT IN USE FOR SAUNA GOERS). There are also small lockers for valuable stuff (e.g. mobiles, wallets, keys), please share one with your friends. Big dressing rooms with showers and toilets are about 100 m from the sauna.
