A new hotel with an innovative concept has opened on the Swedish river Lule. Arctic Bath is a floating hotel and spa where you can enjoy a truly unique wellness vacation.
Sweden
Swedes have a special attitude towards nature, design and personal hedonism, it seems that nature and contact with it always come first. They inculcate this DNA of coexistence with nature to their offspring. It's all part of getting back to her and getting back to her. Part of this philosophy, as well as part of the brands' vision, was brought to us by the brands Fjällräven and Primus. They took a selected group of journalists from all over the world out of the city and into nature.
Years ago, everyone was obsessed with the Swedish concept of hygge, but this year, the world of Swedish desserts has taken the world by storm. Since we also follow the trends, we have prepared 3 recipes for you, which will make your afternoons delicious.
Christmas is approaching, and cities across Europe are turning into winter wonderlands. The town squares are thus slowly taking the form of traditional Alpine villages offering mulled wine and artistic products. But not all Christmas fairs are the same. We've found the most exciting and unusual Christmas markets for you, perfect for a unique holiday experience. Here are the absolutely unique Christmas markets in Europe.
Did you even know you can spend the night in the 'Ice Kingdom'? Yes, since 1989. It's not called like the popular cartoon, but Icehotel. This year, the 28th version of the hotel was put on display, as it gets a new look every winter. Wondering what it looks like this year?
The word camping probably sounds quite strange at this time of year. We prefer to imagine a pine forest, needles on the ground, barely any clothes on and the smell of the sea. But these are our perceptions or experiences. You can also camp in winter, in deep snow, at Sampi Nature Camp.
Regardless of whether you are just a tourist or a professional or amateur photographer, Lapland will enchant you like nothing else. Home to the aurora borealis and Santa Claus and his reindeer, it's a truly fairy-tale place where your childhood naivety comes alive in December, even if it's long since left you. Here are 30 reasons in pictures why Lapland is the most beautiful place in the world.
Christo Guelov, a Bulgarian visual and conceptual artist who lives in Madrid, is famous for his rather unusual installations, at least at first glance. His last "intervention" took place in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, where he painted the Älvsborg bridge in very special shades. Children will recognize them in no time.
We would all live in Sweden, right? Excellent education, a well-organized health system, excellent support from the state apparatus, high morale of the inhabitants and an excellent economy, this is what we hear most often from the local residents. Among other things, Sweden is also excellent at attracting tourists to its country. (Remember the Airbnb campaign?) Let's see what they came up with now.
The Lule River flows through Lapland in the north of Sweden, where Santa Claus lives, and the town of Harads stands next to it. The city, which is also known for the Treehotel, will build another unusual hotel. This time, instead of in the treetops, I prefer to be right on the river. A floating hotel in the summer, but immobile in the winter due to the ice. Architects Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi have their heads full of ideas, obviously.
We blame ourselves for losing touch with nature. That we cut down the forests, neglect the rivers, do not cultivate the land and pollute the air. They say that nature will take its revenge on us. Let's (p)remain optimistic! There are more and more initiatives for living with nature. We seem to be re-learning what a relationship can bring us and how important it is for the generations after us. Mette Helbaek and Flemming Hansen share the same opinion, having created a permaculture farm in the south of Sweden, where you can reconnect with nature and find inner peace.
An unlimited number of beds and bathrooms, food everywhere you turn, enough fresh air to export and a panoramic view! What a luxury resort this must be, you wonder, huh? It's not. It's quite a whole country, Sweden more precisely. Is this a joke or is it a new way of tourist promotion through popular online platforms?
