Also, how is the beach? I imagine that the water is freezing, but it may be good for a dip after the sauna?

Did put my foot in the water- was early May so I didn't venture in further- but could be nice after the sauna. I think some of the finns were jumping between the sauna and the pool though. No idea on bicycles- and didn't have enough time to check out the area sadly, but should work well.
