Forage in the forest or help with the shepherding!

The cabin is located on an organic farm and the local area is fantastic for picking berries and mushrooms and your local hosts keep sheep in the fields nearby. You're welcome to join them on the daily tasks of feeding and caring for the sheep under the supervision and assistance of their sheepdog, Vilja.

Unwind after an active day outdoors in the hot tub on your own terrace!
