ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

Sometimes the simplest evenings are the best.

Light a fire, get everyone outside and cook something together over the flames.

Make Swedish pinnbröd (stick bread), use the tripod grill for dinner or keep it simple with marshmallows. Especially with children, collecting sticks, preparing the fire and cooking together can easily become one of the highlights of your stay.

There is no need to turn it into a big event. Bring something to drink, prepare a simple dinner and enjoy an evening outside by the fire.

WHAT TO PUT ON THE FIRE

Keep it simple.

You do not need a complicated menu. Pick one of these and enjoy the evening.

01

Pinnbröd

The Swedish campfire classic. Make a simple dough, twist it around a clean stick and bake it slowly over the embers.

02

Tripod dinner

Use the grill over the fire for sausages, vegetables, burgers or whatever you have planned for dinner.

03

Marshmallows

No prep, no problem. Grab a bag of marshmallows and let everyone roast their own.

MAKE YOUR OWN PINNBRÖD

Simple stick bread for the fire.

Easy to prepare, fun with kids and perfect over glowing embers.

For about 8 sticks

  • 500 ml flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 200-250 ml water
  • 2 tbsp oil

How to make it

  1. Mix everything into a firm, non-sticky dough.
  2. Divide into pieces and roll each one into a long strip.
  3. Twist the dough around a clean stick.
  4. Hold it over glowing embers, not directly in the flames.
  5. Turn regularly until golden and cooked through.
BEFORE YOU LIGHT IT

A good fire is a safe fire.

01

Check first

Always check current fire restrictions before lighting a fire. During dry periods, a fire ban may be in place.

02

Use the fire pit

Never make a fire directly on the ground. Use the designated fire pit and keep water nearby.

03

Watch the weather

Don't light a fire in strong winds or very dry conditions, even if there is no formal fire ban.

04

Leave no fire behind

Never leave the fire unattended. Extinguish it completely with water before you leave or go inside.

Burn only suitable dry firewood. Don't burn rubbish, wet wood or fresh branches.
