The journey

Wild Hike & Write is a three-day off-grid retreat that pairs mindful walking with time to write, in the ravine landscape of Söderåsen National Park in southern Sweden.

THE TRAIL

Day by day

  1. Day 1 — Into Söderåsen

    We meet at Copenhagen Airport. You meet your fellow hikers, your guide, and the gear that will accompany you throughout the weekend. We travel by train and taxi to Söderåsen National Park. From there we walk into the forest, and begind our off-grid time, as we make our way to a quiet campspot to spend the night. You can now make yourself become familiar with the rhythms of outdoor living; Pitching our tents, filtering water, preparing our evening meal, building a fire, easing into the simple practices of life in the forest. The silences and sounds of the forest will settle us in.

  2. Day 2 — Ravines & writing

    Into the ravine landscape, with time set aside to write. Mindful walking, sit-spot practice and journaling weave naturally through the day. We pass through one of southern Sweden's richest landscapes for biodiversity. There is much to notice, without as within.

  3. Day 3 — Out of the forest

    Having journeyed far on Day 2, Day 3 offers a gentler pace, allowing the practices and connections of the previous days to settle. With only a short distance to hike, we can slow down, explore more deeply, and spend unhurried time in the forest before our pick-up at the gates of Söderåsen National Park at 3 pm. We expect to arrive back at Copenhagen Airport around 6 pm.

Reviews

What past Soulhikers say

  • This really was a hike closer to my soul. I came to the hike with a broken heart. And after the 5 days of hiking across the Highlands, I felt the heartbreak much less. I walked my worries and the pain out of my brain. I could now accept the pain I was going through as part of my life. That it is beautiful to feel so much as a human, even when it is painful. The cold rivers taught me acceptance and became my new friends. I accepted the exhaustion and was inspired by the beauty of nature, being part of this nature, and my feelings being part of me. These hikes are rightfully called Soulhikes. I got closer to myself and everything connected to human existence. I proudly can say this was the hike of my life so far. Thank you Elsebeth.

  • The hike wasn't only an astonishing nature experience. It was the perfect pause from day-to-day life to tune inward and come back with renewed energy and creativity. A Soulhike was everything I didn't know I needed.
