I attended a strategy meeting at Hagegården; first time in this place. I was received with great kindness, given an airy, clean and stylish room, and a gourmet, vegan dinner on Friday night. I thank you so much for the experience of Hagegården, and hope that I will soon have the opportunity to visit again!

If all you need is a simple place to stay while exploring the area, our hostel might be just the place for you, Bergamon Hostel - Brunskogs Vandrarhem. Located only a stone's throw from Brunskog’s open-air museum and Brunskog Church, it is an ideal place for many local events. Right outside the door are several hiking trails leading over the Brunskog mountain (Brunskogsfjellet).
However, scientific evidence highlights that these elements are crucial for maintaining both mental and physical health. Studies have shown that regular breaks, including short retreats into nature, can significantly improve cognitive function by encouraging the production of brain chemicals necessary for thinking new thoughts.
Rest allows the brain to process and store information more effectively. During deep sleep, the brain consolidates memories and solves complex problems. And relaxation reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels, which can otherwise impair cognitive performance.
Spending time in nature amplifies these benefits. Research indicates that natural environments enhance mood, reduce anxiety, and restore attention. Nature's calming influence helps to reset the overstimulated mind, providing a break from technology and noise pollution. A shorter nature retreat, for even just a few days, can reinvigorate your mental state, leading to enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities.
Science clearly supports the need for regular rest, relaxation, and interaction with nature. These practices not only revitalize the mind and body but also foster innovation and fresh perspectives, essential for personal and professional growth. Hence, incorporating short nature retreats into your routines could be key to unlocking your full cognitive potential.
