conferences &
other group bookings
We arrange accomodation, meals and activities for 10-25 people.
We love to serve you wild herbs from the surroundings, mutton from our farm and vegetables from our garden.
Urnatur is fully licensed and you can order from our collection of organic wines and beer with your dinner.
In the tin castle down at the lake there is electricity, internet & wifi. The actual wood hermitage, where all the huts are, is a 500m walk away. Up there in the woods there is no electricity!
If you freeze- light a fire, if it is getting dark- light the lantern…
If you want to book the entire hermitage you need to book early as all the huts now are bookable online.
Conference facilities
We are open for conference bookings from April to October.
The ideal size of a conference group at Urnatur is 12-16 people. But we can accommodate groups up to about 20 to maximum 27 people. We offer all services from meals to events and activities. In our conference room down at the lake we have electricity, data projector, internet and wi fi. Here we also serve breakfast, fika and lunch. Groups with more than 16 guests also eat dinner here.
Urnatur tries to be as environmentally friendly as ever possible.
Housings, tin castle and the sauna are heated with wood from our own forest, shower water is heated with solar energy. The trees we take down are carefully selected to make space for another tree to gain an even higher biodiversity. During summer season we are nearly totally self sufficient on energy with solar panels.
The water comes from our own wells. Our toilets are urine separating. The urine is spread out on the fields later to fertilize our sheeps grazing grounds. All meat we serve our guests comes from our own farm. It is about 95% lamb and 5% wild game such as deer and moose. The lambs are born in April and graze on our ancient natural pastures for all their life and help use to maintain our rich biodiversity on the farm. We also sometimes serve fish from lake Visjö (perch, pike, roach) and sometimes for special occasions crayfish if the season is right.
During springtime we serve a lot of wild herbs, summertime and autumn all vegetable and herbs we serve are from our organic kitchen garden, complementing with mushrooms from the forest. All other ingredients we use are organic as far as ever possible.
