Banya
A banya is a Russian wooden house with a steam room. It also refers to bathhouse.[1] The banya has also a wood stove to make heat. The main idea of banya is to cause sweat in the bathers.[2]
Usually, the banya (wooden house) is near a river. The bathers jump into the river to cool down after being in the banya.
