I'm serious! It's relaxing. Not one like at the Ys but a real steam sauna. I don't know the word for it in english but you can use some birch twigs fresh ones to whisk yourself and just lie there enjoying the steam, not thinking, just relaxing. Once a week!
I hated them as a child, which I think is common for kids, but now as a parent I think I need the space and peace. I actually have dreams of my childhood sauna and that someone else owns it now. They say to my mom that she can't keep coming back and I cry that it's me that asked her to I lie down on my bench (the lowest one) and start sobbing. Ouch!
I must have enjoyed them more then I remember. : )
