Hammocks are strung up, and together, we prepare for our first night under the stars. A crackling campfire and an outdoor feast mark the evening, the sun bidding us farewell over the tranquil woods. Imagine this: a dark forest, trees whispering, and the night sky overhead, all while knowing a wolf family roams nearby. We wait in anticipation, the experience of hearing wolves howl can be both meditative and thrilling. Night in hammocks.

Food & Stay

Hammock camp in wolf territory: We stay two nights wild camping in the forest. The exact location is kept a secret and it is very important that you don't share this information with anyone. We will explain why. We will set up camp at a location that is near the wolves, but still at a respectful distance to not disturb them. On this trip you will carry your own camping equipment (provided by us) and put up your hammock with instructions from your guide. Food: Everyone will be making their food in separate gas kitchens (provided by us) in the company of the group. We will eat all meals out in the forest, sometimes by a campfire. Meals will be simple but filling and tasty, and we all help out with cooking and grilling. Some of the meals will be prepared in beforehand and just heated. Veggie, gluten free or no fish, we take any diet just as seriously as anything else as long as you let us know in beforehand.
