Train travel across Europe a comfortable alternative? I tested it!

Train travel across Europe a comfortable alternative? I tested it!

In April, SJ started to bring the news about the new night train from Stockholm and Hamburg, and I began to plan my trip to the Netherlands by train. Double inspired by a fantastic family from Belgium travelling from Belgium to Furudal by public transport this summer, I decided and booked my trip on one of the first departures of the train in question to visit family and friends in the Netherlands. I’m not new on a night train. I […]

Sustainable and conscious entrepreneurship is more urgent than ever

Every year we measure ourselves against the sustainability criteria for hotels and accommodation that GSTC gives us, which provides insight, and shows progress and shortcomings. In these times of climate change and war, we feel sustainable and conscious entrepreneurship is more urgent than ever. In the year 2021/22, we focussed on overcoming several shortcomings that surfaced during the 2020 measurement and took every opportunity to improve. Our focus in 2021/2022: Our primary focus was to be more transparent about how […]

A bond with guests, their story stays with us.

Writing our next blog about our guests who stayed with us and gave us special memories. What a great idea that seemed. We happily delved into our memories. And one after the other passed the review. From our first Stockholm guests from India who celebrated midsummer and whose curry scent of their festive dishes lingered for days, to recent guests we discussed life with. All those guests, each with their own story, taught us something about ourselves, were inspiring and […]

New directions with a social emphasis

Last year allowed us to rethink our company and our ideas. At first, we felt forced by the Covid outbreak, the impact on ourselves, our environment, and our company. During the summer, peace returned. It turned out that the concept we offer with our company would not be affected. The demand for our nature experiences, each in its bubble, small-scale and using local resources, has only grown. During the hustle and bustle, through conversations with guests, research and coaches, we […]

What do you prefer: a soft or a hard adventure?

-20 degrees Celsius, clear blue skies,”squeaky” sounds of snow when you walk on it , everything is frozen in silent splendour just for you, red cheeks, white frozen hair, sun, grilling sausages outside, enjoying your hot chocolate, loads of snow and perfect ice for outdoor activities. For those who love winter, these days (warmly dressed) make the most magical pictures. We also enjoy that type of weather and all the beauty it brings along. And pictures of the forest huts […]
