Airfare

By Car

The retreat place is located only two hours drive from Oslo with car. But the GPS will probably take you the wrong way as we are hidden away in nature (and the road down to our property is not excisting in the maps 😄).

So here is a description: follow the directions to ‘Nutheim’ (on Google maps/Mapsme etc.) there is a sharp turn where you follow the signs towards ‘Rauland’, after taking off towards Rauland you drive around 500 meters before taking the first turn to the left (there is a small sign on the right side of the street saying Hagabrekka Wanderland). After some hundred meters on a dirt road you will reach a farm where you go left in the small crossroad. Our little 'off grid', hidden paradise is in the very end of the road.

By public transportation from Oslo Airport (OSL)

With public transportation it is 2,5 hours with bus from Oslo Centralstation. If you are flying in to Oslo Airport you can catch a train from the airport to Oslo Centralstation. From 'Oslo bussterminal' which is located the same place where the train arrives it is a direct bus to 'Århus knutepunkt'. The buscompany that offers this route is Nor-Way: https://www.nor-way.no/en. We can pick you up at the busstation.

By public transportation from Sandefjord Airport (TRF)

When you are landing at Torp in Sandefjord they offer a free shuttle to trainstation nearby. From there you can take the train to 'Skien'. From 'Skien' you can take a bus to 'Seljord'. Seljord is the nearest town and about 15 min drive from Hagabrekka. We offer pick up at the bus station in Seljord. You can see the route and tickets at https://www.vy.no/en.

Other places in Norway

As we are located between east and west Norway it is easy to reach our place from both sides. The main highway connecting the east and west is only 15 min drive from our property and there is many busroutes passing by. We are happy to assist you with finding the best travel route to reach us from wherever you are. Please contact us for more information.

Food

Healthy plant-based meals that will nourish both your senses and your body will make the experience complete. We focus on local, organic ingredients that will offer new flavors every day. Some of the vegetables will come straight from our organic vegetable garden as well as wild harvest form the surrounding forest. Depending on the number of participants and your program we can offer breakfast buffet, packed lunch for the day’s activities and dinner followed by dessert around the bonfire. All meals are served with aromatic coolers or herbal teas. We can accommodate for allergies if we are notified in advance.

All the meals are shared around a long table in the garden with a view to the mountains. In case of rain we have big parasols, or the possibility to eat in the yoga shala. Then we provide a low table and pillows on the floor.

"I spent two months volunteering. It was a thoroughly wonderful experience. Marita and Sabin are amazingly kind people. They are always happy to share their knowledge about sustainability, yoga, and vegan lifestyle to all the guests and volunteers. Their holistic approach to yoga shows itself in how gentle-hearted and hospitable they are towards all the living creatures (from humans to little frogs) in their Norwegian home.

The yoga retreats are always organized at the highest level. Marita, Sabin, and all the volunteers care about each guest making sure that everyone feels at home. The healthy, plant-based meals are of the highest quality, and the food is always in abundance!:) The yoga classes are conducted by Marita and Sabin who are both professional teachers with a great experience, knowledge, and a sense of humor, which make the Yoga Shala a safe space for laughter, deep meditation, or tears.

The location is beautifully situated in a Flatdal valley. With its wide forests, green meadows, and the surrounding mountains it is a wonderful place for everyone who needs to rest from a hectic city lifestyle and reconnect to an untouched Norwegian nature.

I do recommend staying here. It is the happiest thing that can happen to a human being.:))"

"The location is more than just a place to spend a night, it is a unique experience and magical place.

Marita and Sabin will make you feel at home and welcome you with a lot of kindness. They are also talented and skilled yoga teachers who make everyone feel comfortable in their classes.

Plus the morning breakfast is a real feast, homemade and absolutely delicious!

The location is the perfect place if you're looking to be surrounded by nature, reconnect to simple pleasures, yourself and to feel like home :)

Rooms: Cosy rooms decorated with care, surrounded by nature

Nearby activities: Breathtaking nature and hikes close by

Food & drinks: The food is a big highlight! I discovered so many new dishes, flavors, new plant-bases recipes and the proportions were generous"
