This guest story comes from my brother, who travelled from the Netherlands to Furudal by train this September, with stops in Hamburg, Copenhagen and Växjö along the way.
Most non-Swedish guests fly to Stockholm and rent a car to go to Furudal. But you can also travel in a more sustainable way. And if you’re lucky, you arrive at Marcusgård already relaxed.
I bought an Interrail Senior Pass and this September I got on the train from The Hague to Hamburg, where I went to a concert in the spectacular Elbphilharmonie, with a view over the beautiful harbour city. Then I travelled on to Copenhagen, where I saw a ballet performance in the posh, old-fashioned Royal DanishTheatre.
My third stop was Växjö, a university city with a surprisingly beautiful cathedral, adorned with a modern glass altarpiece. And on my fourth travel day, I reached my final destination: Furudal.
There I enjoyed the beautiful autumn colours, the silence of the forest and the warm hospitality of Mireille and Willem.
Now I am on my way to Stockholm where I had planned, advised by AI, to take the night train to Berlin. Unfortunately, when I tried to book it, I found out that this train doesn’t run today 😟. So I’ll have to fly after all.
Conclusion: don’t shy away from going to Furudal by train, but don’t rely too much on AI either.
