You both step into the sauna and sit on the wooden benches. Unlike an indoor room, the sauna is open to the surroundings, allowing fresh air to move through freely. Steam rises from the heated stones and drifts away into the open space instead of staying trapped. Trees and natural scenery are visible around you, and sounds like wind and distant water can be heard clearly. The heat feels steady but comfortable, balanced by the open environment, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
