Right.Banyas can be anything from luxury to very old and basic, right?
This sounds awesome. Unfortunally banyas are located within private gardens or at a particular site of a town or city so they're rarely anywhere near creeks, rivers, etc. So the most you can do near a banya in winter is take snow bathsOne thing I'd love to do is to sit in the sauna for a while, and then take a quick dip in an ice opening, in the Winter.
Must be fantastic for the body, circulation and all that.
Personally I like banya better than sauna, even though saunas are usually equipped with swimming pools, entertainment and stuff.
Sauna feels plain and soulless, maybe, I dunno how to describe it.
