Everyone loves the lake, but in winter it's just too freezing cold. So the only chance to dip in is to heat up first. The Sauna cabins are built with windows at the top, and the view warms your heart while your body starts sweating. There's reading material and wool blankets available, and the place feels like far away from the bustling city life.
