Earthway Experience is an Eco-Retreat Center. Come relax and experience our unique location on Lake Siljan, which has been called “the most beautiful lake in all of Europe".
Fish or paddle a canoe in the beautiful clear waters of Lake Siljan and other surrounding lakes. Hike and pick berries or just sit back and enjoy the quiet and tranquility of our beautiful location.
Permaculture will be part of a central theme of our Eco-Retreat Center. There is a feeling of being a part of Nature. In using permaculture we plan on providing all or most of our food needs in a healthy beneficial manner.
We have no electricity or running water in the area, except for the stream running through the area! We have solar panels and are planning on using wind power as well.
Especially in light of climate change, we want to let people experience another more simple way of living.
We plan to have several 4 – 6 bed log cabins for people to come and stay in. Cooking, eating and a place for people to come together will be done in a traditional log eldhus – one of Sweden's oldest type of building originally used by the Vikings. After a day in Dalarnas nature one can clean themselves both physically and mentally in a log sauna house. There now exists an outdoor cooking “eldstad” for outdoor cooking. There is also a 6 meter Native American Indian Tipi that can be used for group gatherings and meetings.
We welcome individuals, families, school groups as well as corporate conferences.
WHAT IS PERMACULTURE?
Permaculture is an approach to designing human settlements and perennial agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in the natural ecologies. By designing our own environments and building increasingly self-sufficient human settlements in a way where one reduces society's reliance on industrial systems of production and distribution which fundamentally and systematically are destroying Earth's ecosystems.
Earthway Experience will be using Permaculture to enhance our site on Lake Siljan. In addition to providing food for humans, we will be providing food and the proper environment for local birds and other wildlife.
WHAT IS ECOTOURISM?
The Ecotourism Society defines it as "responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people". A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there.
It is a phenomenon that strengthens the Swedish and international nature protection, which protects instead of destroys, which offers equal human meetings and gives the traveller unforgettable experiences.
Earthway Experience will bring people from all over Europe and the world to experience Dalarnas unique nature and culture. These people will come and experience our nature and take home a part of it in themselves. We hope to preserve Dalarnas nature and to help our guests be able to preserve their our homes nature. We will also offer several educational experiences to help those that come to better be able to preserve our natural world.
