Welcome to Hagabrekka Wanderland - reconnect to nature, sustainable lifestyle in practice, and tranquility
Hagabrekka Wanderland is located in Flatdal, a small village in Seljord municipality which is known as an artist's paradise. Beautiful views of the large mountains that frame the u - formed valley provide a great reflection of the fantastic nature and landscape Norway has to offer. At Hagabrekka Wanderland you are far away from everyday stress. We are completely off grid, growing parts of our own food and using principles of permaculture to create a little paradise. This also means a different experience then what most people are used to, there is no grid power or water, we have solar power in some areas of the property, composting toilets and are pumping water from a river nearby, so no running water. We are surrounded by untouched nature, with all the other beings sharing the space with us, this means that you will encounter spiders and other insects. Here you truly get disconnected from the digital hassle and connected to nature and the present moment.

Directions
By Car
Hagabrekka Wanderland 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.
