practical questions Scandinavian Sauna

Any recommendations for a Scandinavian style sauna with the cold plunge/bucket of ice water shower? I’ve seen just basic saunas but really hoping to find the cold plunge.

Elysium in Bleiswijk Level in Leiden Centre du lac in Pijnacker These are close by options for you

FYI, I think all saunas in the Netherlands offer the bucket and plunge

Edit to add; saunas in the Netherlands are usually naked saunas. Some days they offer "badkledingdagen" where you can keep your swimming attire on.

Good points - basically every sauna in the Netherlands will have buckets and plunges. And be nekkid.

Caesar's has a Finnish sauna, cold showers and cold buckets for tipping over yourself. No cold plunge pool.

If you want a proper and correct sauna, you can try the one at the Finnish Seamans Church in Rotterdam.
