STF Lurö Hostel

In the middle of Lake Vänern, furthest south in the string of beautiful islands that make up the Lurö archipelago nature reserve, lies Lurö, about an hour by boat from Värmlandsnäs to the north and Kållandsö to the south. Here the sky meets the sea in the middle of the hinterland.

The hostel is located on the old Stenstaka farm. Here you can stay in cottages or in rooms in the old lighthouse.

The Lodge has everything you need to satisfy your hunger. Prepare your own food in our well-equipped hostel kitchen or let yourself be pampered in our own archipelago tavern Lurö Krog where the chefs use local ingredients. If you prefer to dine al fresco, we have a large wooden deck outside the dining rooms, you can also borrow grills or cook your food on the grills out on the rocks. If you choose to eat in the restaurant, it is wise to pre-book during the summer, and absolutely necessary in spring and autumn.

To the west, at its private jetty, is the Mysingen sauna raft. There is a sauna, hot tub and barbecue hut. The facility is very popular and should be booked well in advance. There is a guest harbor adjacent to the hostel.

When hiking on one of the many trails, you are never far from a refreshing swim or an inviting rest area. Hiking at your own pace, letting your eyes take in the mighty Vänern inland lake and seeing the magnificent nature in one of the most sun-kissed parts of Scandinavia ensures a quality of life that more and more people are seeking these days. The tranquility on Lurö promotes both creative togetherness and peaceful solitude. Perhaps you’ll find your own strawberry field here, in the middle of an ocean of drinking water!
