Having a sauna, or bastu, as it's called in Swedish, is a Scandinavian practice where you heat up a small lodge, preferable with fire wood and a stove, to temperatures up to 70-90 degrees Celsius. When in need of a break you exit the sauna for a quick bath in the ocean or cold shower. If you ask the locals, many will say that it is mandatory to at least once per year have a proper sauna. Luleå offers several saunas in close proximity to the sea if you want your sauna experience to mimic the locals'.
