Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
Let the woods and lakes inspire you as you unleash your creativity and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind.
You’ll be warmly welcomed at Hillringsberg Herrgård by the lake Glafsfjorden. After a delicious dinner of locally sourced dishes, you meet your guides and get a sneak peek at the highlights of the coming days. Let the day end with a calming yoga session at sunset to relax your body and mind.
Day 2: Nature Exploration & Wildlife Encounters
After breakfast, we start the day with a guided botanical hike in the nature reserve Glaskogen, uncovering the secrets of Sweden’s flora and fauna, guided by a biologist. Afterwards, we recharge with a Fika, a traditional Swedish coffee break. Summer days in Sweden are long which is why we're heading out on our wildlife tour in the evening. Our expert guides will show you the art of tracking wildlife. Very likely we will encounter majestic moose roaming the forests, bus beavers at work along the water’s edge, and a variety of birds in their natural habitat. It’s a truly magical experience that connecting you to the rhythm of the nature.
Day 3: Creative Workshop & Sunset Kayak Tour:
After Breakfast , enjoy your free time, explore the surrounding forest or take a dip in the lake.
Tap into your creative side at the cyanotype workshop and join an highly skilled artist. We explore artistic techniques such as cyanotype and botanical monotype, where you’ll create stunning prints using plants and sunlight, Instagram-worthy and uniquely yours! Take time for yourself, embrace your inner processes, and find space for expression and contemplation. No prior experience is needed!
In the evening we set off on a guided sunset kayaking tour, launching directly from the Herrgård's tranquil lakeshore. As the sky transforms into hues of gold and pink, we glide effortlessly across the serene waters. Let the soothing sounds of nature surround you—the haunting calls of loons or the whisper of the breeze through the trees. Discover hidden nooks and secluded coves, and let the peaceful ambiance wash over you as you bask in the magic of the moment.
