Check outBast Sauna

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'.
Relax and enjoy
It is nice to treat yourself to rest, sauna and spa after a day full of activities!
