Both Hagegården Retreat Hotel and Bergamon Hostel – Brunskogs Vandrarhem are beautifully located in the middle of nature, but it’s not hard to get here. The closest village with its own train station and grocery store (ICA) is Edane, just 7 km away. Trains coming from Karlstad in the south, or Charlottenberg in the north, stop here many times a day. There are also train stations in Arvika, Kil and Karlstad.
Below is the distance to towns in the area (and some further away).
