Stefan Thorendal, 67, Owner of a hostel @ STF Hagaby/Lantgården hostel, Växjö
Country: Sweden, Language: English
I offer: The hostel lies in Hagaby, just south of Löttorp on northern Öland. Guests stay in a rural atmosphere, where the closest neighbours are a couple of farms with sheep, cows and horses. The buildings are an older farmstead with an unknown origin and the main building became a hostel in 1940. From the hostel it’s close to all the wonderful child-friendly beaches in the area. A small path runs across the beach meadows over to the ocean on the eastern side. If you fancy a round of golf, the Öland golf course is just a few kilometres away. The surroundings are also perfect for cycling trips through Öland’s unique landscape, and the hiking trails of Sverigeleden and Ölandleden pass right next to the hostel.
