LEADIN:
Unwilling to be tied to one place, a sauna in the Hungarian capital has been put on wheels.
The mobile sauna, built in the back of an old van, has been parked at one of the best viewpoints in all of Budapest, and locals are stripping off to enjoy the experience.
STORYLINE:
It's an odd sight for this part of Budapest, half naked men and women in a car park getting ready to get sweaty.
A civic association aiming to make better use of the banks of the Danube River is offering a lucky few the chance to take in some of the best views of the city while enjoying a relaxing sauna session.
The group, Valyo has set up its mobile sauna at the Citadella (Citadel), an imposing fortress built by the Habsburgs in the 1850s on top of Gellert Hill, one of the highest points in Budapest.
The plastic bodied van was manufactured by Austria's Steyr truck maker decades ago and it was used in Budapest's international airport transporting crews between their jets and the terminals.
It costs 10,000 HUF ($35 US) for a 90 minute session in the sauna for up to six people.
