Enjoying the Elements of Nature
Genieten van natuurlijke elementen
We really enjoyed this charming little cottage in the middle of the forest; it’s wonderfully peaceful there, and you feel connected to nature. There’s no running water, which makes you more mindful. We built a fire in the bowl and then grilled some Swedish meatballs. It’s all about the natural elements here. Just enjoying yourself—nothing more, nothing less.
We hebben genoten van dit lieve huisje midden in het bos, het is er heerlijk rustig en je voelt je verbonden met de natuur. Geen stromend water dus dat maakt bewust. We maakten een vuurtje in de schaal om vervolgens zweedse balletjes te grillen. Het draait hier om de natuurlijke elementen. Gewoon genieten, niks meer en niks minder.

Keep in mind that the water comes from jerry cans and must be heated first.
Houd rekening met het feit dat het water uit jerrycans komt en eerst zelf verwarmd moet worden.
We’ve completely unwound in this cozy stuga with its kind, enthusiastic, and dedicated owners. The breathtaking Swedish nature—with its nearby lake, countless butterflies, roe deer, foxes, and moose, and its deafening silence—is beyond description. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while.
If you’d like to get out and do something every now and then, the surrounding area offers more than enough options, such as hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, or visiting one of the charming little towns nearby. Plus, beautiful Oslo is just a stone’s throw away.Wij zijn helemaal tot rust gekomen in deze gezellige stuga met zijn lieve, enthousiaste en toegewijde eigenaren. De wonderschone Zweedse natuur; met het nabijgelegen meertje, de talloze vlinders, reeën, vossen en elanden en zijn oorverdovende stilte, is met geen pen te beschrijven. Een regelrechte aanrader voor mensen die de waan van alledag een tijdje willen ontvluchten.
Wil je af en toe toch iets ondernemen, dan biedt de omgeving daartoe meer dan genoeg mogelijkheden, zoals wandelen, fietsen, zwemmen, vissen, kanoën of een van de gezellige kleine stadjes in de buurt bezoeken. Daarnaast ligt het mooie Oslo op een steenworp afstand.This text is automatically translated. -

It’s a lovely little cottage. It’s great to just “potter around” and enjoy our own little spot far from home.
We stayed in this cottage for a week. The toilet in a little cottage “downhill,” water from containers, and an outdoor shower were a bit unusual for us, but we adapted just fine. The swimming pond was nice and cold in the morning, and a dip was a great way to start the day. Washing our hair was quite an adventure—with a basin and a measuring cup—but it was so wonderful!
A wonderful place to disconnect from your screens and spend your time simply observing and enjoying.
We went on some lovely walks in the area and got a taste of Finnish culture in this part of Sweden.
On the way back, we stopped at a big Loppis and bought a box of birch bark (from the 1800s, the seller said) and some carding combs. Happy as kids, we continued deeper into Sweden.Het is een heerlijk huisje. Lekker 'rommelen' en genieten van ons eigen bedoeninkje ver van huis.
We hebben een week in dit huis gewoond. Het toilet in een huisje 'downhill', water uit containers en douche buiten zijn wat ongewoon voor ons, maar we hebben ons daar prima op aangepast. De zwemvijver is 's morgens lekker koud en een dip was een goede start van de dag. Het wassen van de haren was een hele ervaring, met teiltje en maatbeker, maar wat was het heerlijk!
Een heerlijke plek om los te komen van je schermpjes en je tijd te spenderen aan kijken en genieten.
We hebben fijn gewandeld in de omgeving en wat meegekregen van de Finse cultuur in dit deel van Zweden.
Op de terugweg bij een grote Loppis langsgeweest en een bak van berkenbast (uit 1800 zei de verkoper) en kaardkammen gekocht. Blij als een kind trokken we verder Zweden in.The peace, space, and nature in the area are amazing! At night, it’s deafeningly quiet. There are plenty of hiking trails in the area, and you can find plenty of information about Finnish culture right in the village itself.
The moose kept hiding from us. We didn’t see the bear or the lynx either. We did hear the cranes, and saw a deer with its fawn by the lake.
We’d regularly get messages from Richard when he spotted moose in the “garden” early in the morning. Unfortunately, we were fast asleep…De rust, ruimte en natuur in de omgeving zijn super! 's Nachts is het oorverdovend stil. In de omgeving zijn voldoende wandelingen te vinden en ook over de Finse cultuur is voldoende informatie in het dorp zelf te vinden.
De elanden hebben zich steeds verstopt voor ons. Ook de beer en Linx hebben we niet gezien. Wel de kraanvogels gehoord en bij het meer een hert met jong.
Regelmatig appjes van Richard, wanneer hij 's morgens vroeg Elanden in de 'tuin' zag. Helaas, wij lagen op een oor...This text is automatically translated.
