Kolarbyn Ecolodge (Skinnskatteberg/ Sweden)

Kolarbyn Ecolodge (Skinnskatteberg/ Sweden)

Kolarbyn Ecolodge is ”Sweden’s most primitive hotel”. There is no electricity, no showers, nothing fancy at all, just twelve well camouflaged little cabins in between all the trees. All covered in mud and grass. Bilberries and mushrooms grow wild on their roofs. As natural as it can be.
Perfect for an adventure off the beaten track. To breathe some fresh air, to enjoy the peacefulness, to take part in free outdoor activities and to experience the local wildlife.
