People from around the globe visit to relax and enjoy the nature or experience to be with wild animals in their natural environment. 

Kolarbyn consists of twelve (12) little forest huts located in a glade by the beautiful lake Skarsjon. People from different walks of life likes to stay in this little huts just like in a hotel, its just that its smaller, more primitive and more adventurous. There is no electricity inside the hut but candles and crackling fireplace are available to guide visitors to sleep. After you sleep in the silence of the night, birds music and hymns will wake you up for a nice swim in the lake Kolarbyn which is undoubtedly a true natural experience for family and friends.
