Sustainable Travel

We have implemented a number of initiatives to make sure our business observes sustainable travel guidelines.

Please help us by doing the following:

Reducing water wastage

Please do not waste the natural spring water which comes from our taps. The water boiler in the cabin has a limited supply of hot water, so it is only possible to take quick showers - we recommend using the sauna for a traditional bathing experience :)

Conserving heat

Please do not heat the cabin up so much that you need to open the windows to cool it down

Protecting the environment

Please respect nature and do not damage our natural environment. Please do not drop litter (what you carry into the forest can be carried back too!) and please stick to the marked routes, using the map provided on site

Saving electricity

Please use the front door responsibly: opening and closing it as quickly as possible, and going in and out without leaving the door wide open behind you, makes sure the cabin’s heat doesn’t escape. It takes a lot of electricity to heat it up again!

Recycling and waste disposal

Please sort your rubbish into the correct recycling bins located in the car park and please pick up any rubbish dropped accidentaly in the garden or forest

Avoiding food wastage

Please do not waste food: when you check out you can leave unwanted, unopened, or uneaten food in the cabin if you can't take it with you. We will check if it is safe to eat, or give it to our dogs if it's unsuitable for humans but suitable for them. However, please do not give food to our dogs without checking with us first!

We treat everyone with respect and fairness, and we only do fair and honest business. 2. We take care of nature We protect the environment, landscapes and natural diversity of our region. Our operations do not exceed nature's carrying capacity, but contribute to securing the opportunities for a good life and the preservation of a clean operating environment in our area. We also take good care of our dogs and their well-being, and ensure that they get dignified treatment. 3. We respect cultural heritage We cherish the cultural heritage of our region.
