Russian Bath
What makes a Russian Bath different?
The saunas have different temperatures and different humidity levels.
A Russian banya is the Russian version of a sauna and some would say it is a kind of steam bath. It is in fact one of the oldest traditions in this country with lots of history to go along.
In a special room, which is in most cases build out of wood and it is wide open benches, a large amount of hot steam is created. When one goes in there, he or she starts at the lower benches and works their way up to the higher benches where the air is hotter. Once someone has warmed up well enough, a cold water pool is outside waiting for a dip into it. Well, there is no complaining, since you could be also in Siberia, where it is common to walk right out of the steam room and jump into the snow 🙂
Even though the shock might be great, you will feel fantastic afterwards!
Enjoy!
