STF Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge

Picture a peaceful forest decorated with chanterelles, ferns, and sunshine breaking through the trees, and you have Kolarbyn. Situated a 40 minute walk from the nearest town, Kolarbyn offers an untouched view of the night sky, and tranquility in all weathers. Visitors to Kolarbyn are second to nature, with squirrels running in the trees, owls hooting at night, and fish in the lake, which is perfect for canoeing, or a dip after enjoying the sauna. The hostel offers an immersion into the natural world like no other, in a safe and comfortable environment. Kolarbyn’s owner, Malin, has thought of everything. There is a well-stocked pantry for guests to prepare a rustic and pleasantly simple meal, and I enjoyed cooking over the open fire. I count myself extremely lucky to have been able to stay in such an incredible place, and would thoroughly recommend Kolarbyn for solo nature-lovers, couples, or families with older children.

We had a great time at Kolarbyn. We enjoyed cooking our meals at a fire place, picking blueberries in the forest and the sauna and swimming next to the lake. Also a big thank you to Malin of Kolarbyn who sent us something we forgot during our stay.

The trip was incredibly enjoyable, an experience I will certainly never forget. I would like to say how friendly and welcoming all the wild Sweden and kolarbyn staff were. Our wildlife tour guide for the safaris Mary went the extra mile to prepare delicious food for us, which we eat at a fire before the safaris began. She would bring a vast selection of juices and low alcohol beer, along with delicious meals and snacks! During our 3 day trip, we saw 6 moose, 3 beavers, 4 frogs, a snake, a wild boar and 2 roe deer! It was incredible and by far the best holiday I have ever done, would highly recommend to anyone! 5/5 from me!

Mit ganz wenig ganz viel erlebt! Unsere Familie und Freunde genossen eine wunderbare Auszeit in den Köhler- und Waldarbeiterhäuschen. Wir genossen es, auf dem Feuer zu kochen, die Sauna am See zu benutzen und natürlich auch Kanu und Boot fahren auf dem hübschen kleinen See. Die Blaubeeren waren gerade in Saison und zum Frühstück war somit die Blaubeerenomelette ein Muss.
