FROM HUT TO CASTLE FOR TWO NIGHTS
(1 NIGHT IN A HUT AND 1 NIGHT AT MANSION)

From hut to castle – as magical as it sounds ✹đŸŒČ🏰✹

Imagine a journey where the sounds of the forest and starry nights become your reality – where you travel from the enchanting charcoal huts of Kolarbyn, hidden among the green of the trees, to the elegant halls of FĂ€rna Manor. Here, in the heart of Bergslagen, an experience full of the mystery of nature, adventure and luxury awaits you.

Begin your adventure by entering a world where time stands still and everyday worries are forgotten. In your own charcoal hut, softly bedded with sheepskin, in front of a crackling fire, you’ll be surrounded by the peaceful silence of the forest. The possibilities are endless: wander through the forest on winding paths, take a dip in the mirror-like waters and let the simplicity of nature captivate you.

As the sun begins to set, a picnic basket filled with delicacies awaits you in the hut – a meal to savour under the stars, framed by the magic of nature. When night falls, light the fire in our floating sauna on Lake SkĂ€rsjön and take a cooling moonlight swim under the stars.

When morning breaks and the magic of the adventure is at its strongest, it’s time to light the fire, make coffee without foam and toast just as crispy. After you’ve washed up by the babbling brook and left the hut a little wistfully, it’s time for the next chapter of your journey.

The journey continues to FĂ€rna HerrgĂ„rd, where you enter a world of luxury and tranquillity. Lunch is served in FĂ€rna’s award-winning kitchen, followed by relaxing hours in the manor’s spa with outdoor hot tubs, indoor pool and sauna. The evening concludes with a three-course dinner in the manor’s elegant dining rooms, followed by a good night’s sleep in a charming double room.

This journey takes you from the magical tranquillity of nature to the refinement of manor life – an adventure full of contrasts and elegance. An experience you will never forget.

From 2 persons, this package is for adult guests. If you are a family and wish to combine Kolarbyn Eco Lodge with FĂ€rna Manor, we recommend that you book Romantic Adventure in Kolarkoja and FĂ€rna Manor as an option.

Day 1:

Check into your cosy charcoal hut, where the tranquillity of the forest immediately surrounds you. After a guided tour, you’ll have time to settle in and chop some wood to keep you warm for the night and the evening sauna. To really immerse yourself in the silence and feel the magic of the forest, the pre-packed food basket is waiting for you, filled with carefully selected flavours. This will give you the freedom to take your dinner with you to your favourite spot in the forest and enjoy the meal at your own pace. Then maybe it’s time to warm up in the sauna and finish off with a moonlight swim in the lake. As the fire glows in the cabin, the forest outside rustles and you feel the silence settling in, you crawl into your warm sleeping bag and fall asleep, surrounded by the peace of the forest.

Day 2:

From peace and simplicity, it’s time for adventure. Cooking breakfast over an open fire, washing up by a babbling brook – experiences and memories you will take home with you. After checking out of the cabin, it’s time to head for FĂ€rna. For those who like to hike, there is the possibility of the newly renovated Kolarbyn-FĂ€rna trail, which is 14 km long. For those who prefer to drive, the trip takes a maximum of 10 minutes.

Your stay in FÀrna begins with lunch at the manor house. You may want to take a short walk around the area. This is followed by a visit to FÀrna Spa, where perhaps a dip in the outdoor pool can compete with a moonlight swim in Lake SkÀrsjön? After a day full of experiences, check into a castle-like double room to prepare for the evening. A three-course dinner from the award-winning kitchen is served at a beautifully set table. With a full tummy and warm memories, crawl into the soft duvet.

Day 3:

The breakfast buffet is laid out and yesterday’s coffee making will be a wonderful memory to talk about. Once you’ve enjoyed your breakfast, it’s time to check out and say goodbye to these magical days – a journey from hut to castle that will leave you with impressions you’ll never forget.

“Thank you for the incredible place Kolarbyn is. It was amazing to be able to experience the Swedish landscape and to just get away from the craziness of life for a bit. It is one of my favourite places in Europe and I hope that many others get to experience its wonder”
Gabi, United States

Truely beautiful surroundings, really helpful staff and a great break from the norm”

“Great place! The lodges are beautiful and the place is super charming. We really enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was fantastic and everything is well organized in a way that it makes it easy to be outside even if you’re not too used to it”
Anonymous, USA

“I just wanted to say that it was a really wonderful and unique experience, one which I will remember and treasure for a long time
It was truly back to basics but truly wonderful stay just to relax and enjoy wild Sweden!
Especially the floating sauna was all kinds of wonderful (definitely last night when the lake was frozen and full moon was shining).
If the snow had come in yesterday it would have been even more magical but that would have been the cherry on top. I got a good look this morning with the snow already.
I wish you all the best and thank you again for an awesome stay, I truly enjoyed it!”
Marnick, Luxemburg

“Last week me and my girlfriend spent one night at Kolarbyn. Kolarbyn it’s a magical, stunning, unreal place. To those who ask me how Kolarbyn is I reply that “I’m agnostic, but if‹there is a paradise, a Valhalla or something else I hope it looks like Kolarbyn”. I guess that many people will tell you how amazing Kolarbyn is and how fascinating your personality is in that forest. But I really left something of my heart in that wood”
Paolo, Italy

“A sauna dream‹The Kolarbyn adventure is fantastic. Top of the list for me was the floating sauna on the lake, followed by swims in the lake – oh it was so good! but I also enjoyed cutting wood, tracking the progress of the charcoal burners’ pit in August – they were up all night watching.
I shall never look at an English wrap in the same light again – they do their picnic food properly in Kolarbyn!  We bonded well too with the other Kolarbyn adventurers and shared many a laugh at our attempts to live ‘wild’. Kolarbyn gave us lots of support in this gentle introduction to living in nature at the eco lodge -I particularly liked being greeted by two lit candles when we arrived at our hut, and the ‘hoover’ marzipan sweets Malin brought us on the second day for our dessert – unexpected little touches that made the moment special. The people, including Malin who greeted us and came every day to sort out food etc, were absolutely lovely – kind, friendly, polite, cheerful and almost courtly at times. A very special holiday indeed.”
Janet, UK

“It has been a week since we returned from Sweden – we had such a great time, meeting the nicest of people and seeing beautiful places. Our stay at Kolarbyn was definitely one of the absolute highlights, from the lovely hut to the beautiful surrounding and don’t forget the Sauna/bastu 😉
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for having us and for keeping this wonderful place alive
all the best”
