ANKAA is the blend of cultures and appreciation for artisan-made goods, and the belief in sustaining heritage, craft and traditions. ANKAA pieces are woven in a small, family-owned workshop using traditional shuttle looms. They are crafted by local Turkish women using traditional methods. By purchasing from ANKAA, you contribute to sustaining traditional craft and small communities, and make your sauna visit a memorable and unique experience.

Folk spa offers to its visitors the most atmospheric sauna experience and stunning views across Näsijärvi. This spa is very dear to residents of Tampere, and locals sometimes call the place fondly “Rauhis”. Nowadays Rauhis is also a very popular tourist spot, offering traditional Finnish experiences to people from all over the world. Rauhaniemi has two traditional Finnish saunas: the bigger or the smaller one. The saunas are gender neutral, and an appropriate swimwear is required. The saunas are open every day of the year and in the winter you can go ice swimming. During summer Rauhaniemi is one of Tampere’s most popular beaches.
