Mirror, mirror
This one of a kind water station attracts the interest of the living creatures of the woods.
They often come and ask to the reflection in the ponds water “who is the fairest of them all?”
A sensitive question which you might try to answer while sitting in the hide.
The hide is not only for photographers to enjoy. Some conservation work has been placed within the location such as bird boxes, nest protection and habitat enhancements. The area is a private land with no traffic which guarantees that wildlife is not disturbed.
Adjustments Covid-19
We do not mix companies in the hide. A company of 2 persons get the whole hide for them selves. We would like to avoid single bookings as our rules doesnt allow guests to sit alone in case of emergency. IF you would like to book as a single person, you have to be okay to share the hide with one other person (of course someone that is healthy)
- We wear face mask and plastic gloves when we make welcome snack and breakfast buffet.
- Serving will be done outdoor, as far as possible, conserning to weather and season.
- If serving will be done indoors we will sit at a big and long table, with distance to each other.
- The company car has pvc glass between the seats.
- The hide is cleaned daily and after every guest. All surfaces are cleaned, sleeping bags airing, new pilow cases etc.
- The adjustments will be on as long as it is neccesary.
We follow the advise from Public Health Of Sweden

Arrangement
After a 10 minute drive and 100 metres by foot, the guide will show you the hide and on your own you begin the exciting search
The standard session is daytime, but we can arrange morning or afternoon session, depending on the light or your preferences
Photograghy
There are 3 different windows with the possibility to change the set up. Basic set up is a long one way glass (spy glass) 180 x 20 cm and 2 photo openings where you can place your camera. The water area starts right in front of the hide and goes up to 5 metres aways. For photographing, a lens within the range of 200-600 mm work well. Wildlife can be really close and a zoom is definitely the best option. Bean bags are provided and also tripod heads with arca swiss mount (one gimbal and one swing tripod)
Suitable for 2 persons. The hide has been mostly built with recycled material. There is a customized foldable photo shelf so you can use your own tripod through the one way glass if you want to. The photo openings can be replaced by one way glass windows.
