Kallbad is a unique concept and it is not easily translated.

With roots in the swedish mythology and attraction for the mystery of nature, kallbad has always been a way for Swedes to refresh themselves spiritually, as well as physically. Naked or not. Kallbad is by definition a swim/bath in a naturally cool lake or river. It is refreshing, calming, easily accessible, spiritually enlightning and it is free. Swedes consider it to be a human right and a part of every day life.

Kallbad should be used as a noun, prefferably in sentences like ” I´m going to take a Kallbad”. The correct pronounciation should be [kalba:d].
