Wilderness Retreat Solberget

Lappland holidays at the Swedish Artic circle

During the entire year we live far from the cities, north of the Arctic Circle. We invite you to to a 18th century farm to come and participate in our life for a while. You will live in cozy houses with wooden stoves, drink fresh spring water and enjoy Lapland’s kitchen and culture. Experience authentic, personal impressions of our life amidst nature and treat yourself to some adventure during our tours – in summer, autumn and winter! Activities we offer are hiking with reindeers, Sami evening, handicrafting, sauna, dog sledding and many more!

Dirk Hagenbuch first came to the forests around Nattavaara in the mid-1990s. He started as a guide for German groups visiting the extensive forest in the north of Sweden, but one day he decided to move here permanently. He worked as a guide on the railway line, Inlandsbanan, then in Kiruna’s mines and one winter at the Icehotel. In 2002 he took over Wilderness Retreat Solberget, which was run by a fellow German and was Dirk’s first destination when he came to the forests north of the Arctic Circle.
