Holidaymakers wanting to get away from the pressure of modern life might consider staying at a wooden hut in Sweden.
The Kolarbyn EcoLodge Hotel is not for everyone.If you can't even understand the idea of living without electricity，running water，or a modern toilet，then the charm of this place will probably not appeal to you.But for anyone trying to escape the pressure and busy life of the big city or take a break from the Internet and other modern devices，this place is a paradise(乐园).Located 1 km south of Skarsjon Beach，in the middle of a pristine Swedish forest，Kolarbyn EcoLodge consists of 12 wooden huts with nothing but two sheepskincovered wooden beds，and a wood stove that uses wood cut by the guests themselves.
Selfcatering breakfast，lunch and dinner consist of items like spaghetti(意大利细面条)，tomato sauce，bread，fruit and eggs that tourists have to cook themselves over an outside fire；there is no shower，only a nearby spring and as for toilet，visitors are encouraged to go behind a tree，or visit one of the two sheds(棚子).
Adding to the charm of this place is the long coalmaking tradition of Kolarbyn.Locals have been building these huts from wood and mud for over 400 years，and a few of them came up with the idea of recreating a few of them in the woods as an ecolodge to keep tradition alive in the area.
“People visit Kolarbyn lodges because they want to experience the nature and to test sleeping in the historical huts.They want to get away from the normal life，”the owner Andreas Ahlsen said.“The huts themselves are relatively small，as if they are too big，it will destroy the nature experience.”
