Löydä Tampereen helmet

Soul of Sauna week has started! (See our highlight!)

This was a perfect opportunity to interview Juha Kumara, who has always loved sauna. For him, it is a place to find peace and be in tune with his inner self.

About five years ago, Juha and his friend Matti Kemi cycled over 700 kilometers around Finland, exploring different saunas and meeting interesting people. This journey led to a podcast and the founding of their company, @saunakonkeli , a name that combines their beloved mode of transportation, the bicycle.

Today, he shares his top 5 sauna tips with you:

♨️1. Sauna Temple @saunatemppeli and @rauhaniemi

One of Tampere’s most popular public saunas, Rauhaniemi Folk Spa, has been in operation since 1929. In 2023, Juha, Matti, and Topias Elonkehrä from Saunatemppeli Oy opened the third sauna in the area, Sauna Temple.

♨️ 2. Veittijärvi Sauna @veittijarvensauna

“Veittijärvi Sauna in Ylöjärvi offers a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a bit like a countryside sauna close to the city.“

♨️3. Niemi-Kapee Smoke Sauna 📍@niemikapeentila

“It was built in the style of 19th-century saunas. What makes it special is that it is constructed from storm-fallen trees, without cutting down a single tree. The steam, löyly, in Raine’s smoke sauna is wonderfully rich and delicious.”

♨️4. @tahmelanhuvila and @rajaportinsauna

“Many are surely familiar with Rajaportti Sauna, which is heated with skill and care. However, fewer have discovered the nearby sauna in Tahmela’s Villa”

♨️5. Making a Sauna Whisk

“If you have the opportunity to make a sauna whisk, it’s worth starting to think about the optimal whisk tree at the beginning of summer. Be bold and try also other types of trees besides birch! For example, rowan makes a gentle whisk for early summer.”
