Immerse yourself in the soul of Sweden with a visit to a summer pasture farm (fäbod), a UNESCO World Heritage site. Experience everyday life as it once was, drawing water from the well, chopping firewood to warm the cabin, and cooking meals over an open fire.
If the season is right, taste wild edible berries such as wild strawberries, blueberries, cloudberries, lingonberries, and raspberries. Learn how the fäbod has been used through the centuries, where people would bring their livestock for summer grazing.
Discover Södra Flenarna fäbod, actively used until 1982 and designated a listed heritage site, the highest level of cultural protection in Sweden. It is one of the country’s most authentically preserved summer pasture farms, with roots dating back to the 1600s.
Experience a timeless environment without electricity or running water, but with weathered sun-tarred timber, traditional wooden shingle roofs (pärt), a gently babbling brook, and rich meadows where insects, bumblebees, butterflies, birds, and wild forest animals thrive.
Enjoy a day filled with connection, stillness, closeness to nature, and a glimpse into the everyday life of your ancestors.
