Travel to Sweden - Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge
soswedish.com
We just returned from a fantastic trip to Eco Loge Kolarbyn ”Sweden’s most primitive hotel”. Eco Loge provides an ordinary experience. It’s back to basics but still so exiting and fulfilling. Travel to a forgotten time where the easy simple life was the natural way of living.
This hotel is so special because:
-no electricity
-no showers
-natural water springs
-nothing vain at all, just natural delightful magic!
And that is exactly why you are going to fall in love with this place! This feels like your own saga, a secret fiction place on earth, but this one is for real.
Even if its possible to imagine a place like this for you, the pictures and the upcoming video that is under construction will provide the authentic and bohemic feeling that grew on us when we were visiting Eco Loge. It’s a true sense.
People from various part of the world pilgrim to this lodge well hidden in deep forests of “Västmanland”. A perfect recreation area where you can spend quality time with friends, family or your belove. Prepare your own food over the open fire. We brought our own char-coal but this was for sure unnecessary – till mid of the 20’th century this was the place where charcoal was produced, so trust me, there is in abounds.
The lodges, embedded in a mystic ever green forest, brings you to Fylke and viewing the lodges you just wished to be a hobbit – these lodges are small but the level of cosiness is unexplainable – your mind will indulge in an ambient atmosphere of warm candle lights, the sound of sparkling fire of birch logs and a pleasant draft of fresh forest air penetrating the lodge through a well thought open space created between the door and lodge’s roof, puts you slowly into a deep sleep – your state of mind is most divine state.
Intoxicated by the most pleasant ingredients mother nature can provide, you slowly wake up by delightful music of birds. You hopefully look at your beloved and you don’t want this dream to end.
Refresh your mind and body by take a stroll, through “the path of loss” to the floating sauna – ignite the fire, relax, talk with your entourage and get into the lake – from 90°C to 9°C, that’s a nice wake up call. You will feel like asome kind of super hero.
As mentioned above, this is hub for recreation – only your imagination limits your outdoor activities. Canoes are accessible by the shore of the lake (on the path to the sauna), walking safari (the area contains a rich wildlife such a moose, deers, wolves, foxes, various eagles to mention a few), hikes - the forest and its surroundings are full of it - we think you will get surprised…according to the folkloristic tales there is a nymphs awaiting you by the fresh water source. Walking to her, absolutely quietness is required – this is not an effort, as you walk through a breath-taking beautifully forest you will forget verbal language. By the time you reached the source, knock three time with your right hand, open the lid and drink (again only with right hand) fresh spring water – your soul and body and will purify. On the way back, same rules applies (just keep quiet) and make a wish – if you have complied, your wish will come true ;)
So, where is this imaginary place?
Well, it is just a two hours drive from the capital town Stockholm Sweden. Kolarbyn is outside the village of Skinnskatteberg, in the middle of green forest of Bergslagen. If you don’t have a car…don’t worry, you can also get here easily with public transportation

Brief meeting w. 1 year old elk-calf April 15 in a Bergslagen forest, the wind was not to my favour so he sensed my presence and ran eventually...anyway it could have been a clean shot during hunting season!
