Spend the night in a retro store
Fengers Husrum is just a stone’s throw from the historic Fengersfors Mill and the arts and crafts cooperative Not Quite. You will stay in what could only be described as a retro store where everything – literally everything – is for sale. Many of the design items from the 1940s to the 1970s are used to decorate the four double rooms. Regardless of which room you choose – Disponenten, Dalsland, Helmer or Fröskog – the retro feel is the same throughout. Large comfortable beds, WiFi, and a shared bathroom. Parking is included. Some rooms also have an open fire.
The bakery, Brukets Godaste, uses locally sourced organic flour to provide freshly baked bread direct from a woodfired oven. You prepare lunch and dinner together in the shared kitchen. If you find the idea of cooking a little daunting, you can always enlist the services of Marcus, a chef and one of the owners. Or you could even order a pizza from Brukets Bistro, also made in a wood-fired oven.
Spectacular nature and an historical mill setting located out in the wilds will certainly inspire your sense of creative reflection and physical and mental recuperation. There are a number of activities to choose from in the area, including a guided mill walk, golf, cycling, tennis, walking trails, and visits to ancient remains. In the old mill area, you can experience everything at first hand – from a traditional smithy to works of art and baking sourdough bread. From May to September you can also get a true feel for these old industrial buildings and their history from the inside.
