SAUNA ETIQUETTE (piilossa, kesken enkuksi)
Yhteissauna
Kesän Sauna on yhteissauna, eli saunassa tulee olla uimapuku. Alle 18-vuotiaat pääsevät lautalle aikuisen seurassa.
Pukutilat
Lautalla on pukutilat erikseen miehille ja naisille. Pukutilassa on omille tavaroille vaatekorit, jotka lukitaan lautalta saatavalla lukolla. Saat lukon saunamaksun yhteydessä. Huom! Emme vastaa arvoesineistä, eli koreihin jätetään arvoesineet omalla vastuulla.
Peseytyminen
Lautalla ei saa käyttää pesuaineita. Peseytymiseen on lämminvesisuihku, johon vesi tulee joesta.
Emme valvo vesialueita. Uiminen aina omalla vastuulla. Veteen mennään vain joen puolelta portailta.
Juomat
Juomia ei saa viedä löylyhuoneeseen. Myymme lähde- ja kivennäisvettä, ja voit myös tuoda omia virvoitusjuomia. Lautalla ei saa olla päihtyneenä.
Roskat
Roskat on vietävä mennessään rantaan tai laitettava lautalla olevaan roskakoriin. Palautuspullot voi jättää palautuspulloille tarkoitettuun paikkaan lautalla. Tupakointi on lautalla kielletty.
Kesto
Sauna-aika on kaksi tuntia, jotta mahdollisimman moni pääsee nauttimaan saunamme lempeistä löylyistä. Ruuhka-aikoina varaudu jonotukseen. Lautalta on poistuttava sulkeutumisaikaan mennessä.
