Shooting stars and a silver sun: August 2026

If you are planning to visit us in 2026, try to aim for the second week of August. We are looking at a rare “double bill” in the sky that summer, and the forest here in Furudal is exactly where you want to be when it happens. On August 12th, we get a significant solar eclipse in the evening. Because the sun will be low over the trees, the light in the forest will turn into that strange, silvery glow […]

hushpitality in the forests of Dalarna, Sweden

Why hushpitality feels at home in the forests of Dalarna, Sweden

In recent years, travellers have started looking for something different when planning a stay in nature in Sweden. Last year, many discovered the idea of the coolcation: travelling north to escape extreme summer heat. This year, another quieter movement is taking shape — something called hushpitality. Hushpitality describes a quieter form of hospitality where rest, fewer decisions and time close to nature become part of the stay itself.

Let the forest decide

We introduced our Forest Signature Experiences in early December. Winter had not arrived yet. There was no snow to depend on, no finished winter scene. The forest was dark and quiet, still open.

Snow changed the forest. Movement slowed. The landscape closed itself. Not long after, storm […]

When everyone is gone, the magic begins. The summer buzz has faded. The days grow shorter, the forests shift in colour, and a rare stillness settles over Dalarna.

True luxury isn’t found in crowded places. It’s in the quiet moments when you have nature almost entirely to […]

Forest screen — a hidden outdoor cinema in the Swedish woods

Hidden inside an old woodshed, deep in the forests of Dalarna, you’ll find something quietly magical: the Forest Screen. This is not your usual cinema. There’s no popcorn machine, no queues, no ads. Instead, imagine two chairs, a warm blanket, candlelight, and the hush of the forest around you. It’s an outdoor movie experience designed for slowness, presence, and intimacy — exclusively for guests staying in our forest cabins at Näsets Marcusgård. Handpicked films, seasonally shown Rather than offering an […]
