Welcome !

Open year-round

We are open year-round and we offer you experiences in the Charcoal Forest in every season. Every season has its charm and to experience nature’s quiet with free roaming animals is quite unique.

It is very cozy to sleep in the charcoal worker’s hut in the winter while the wind is howling outside. This reminds you of the old days when the charcoal workers tended their stacks and slept in their huts in the forest. Life was hard in those days and the charcoal had to be ready before Christmas.

You can stay overnight in a charcoal worker’s hut in the winter, enjoy a winter sauna in the middle of the forest, walk through the snow with an old-time lantern, while snow is falling on the snow-covered path. You chop the wood and burn it in the woodstove to make the hut warm and cozy. Prepare some food at the campfire and experience a stress-free moment in the Charcoal Forest. We will bring you drinking water which you should keep in the hut so that it won’t freeze. You may also melt snow to make coffee and prepare food. 

When staying overnight in the winter, please remember to pack warm clothes.
