HIDDEN SECRETS: NATURE

Spending time in nature is good for the body and mind. Do you just want to get away and unwind? These are some places where you can be one with nature.Online Editor: Natasha Hendriks

Tree Hotel

Really get away from it all? Then head to stress-free Sweden. Here in the northern forests you will find the Treehotel. Voted Best Theme Hotel in the World by World Travel Awards in 2020. You won't soon forget this unique experience. How to get there: from Stockholm you fly to Lulea Airport and from there you drive to the virgin nature of the Treehotel. In a Bob Ross landscape, high in the trees you will find the coolest "rooms" in genuine Swedish design: Mirror Cube, Cabin, Birds Nest, UFO, Blue Cone, Dragon Fly or the Seventh Room. Each one pearls of private construction with an ĂĽber-gave look and feel. Climb up to your own sanctuary and enter a world where time has stood still. Experience what peace, space and silence can do to you. And yes: comfort everywhere, including underfloor heating. Pretty nice when it's freezing 20 degrees outside. With occasional wild animals scampering downstairs. In the restaurant, Britta and Kent are ready to give you a warm welcome. And to point out the Northern Lights that light up the night sky especially for you.

Expedition Cruise

The ice is melting. And without ice, no more bears. So go see them now! ExperienceTravel offers a ten-day small-scale expedition cruise that takes you past pack ice and through drift ice along the beautiful nature and glaciers of Svalbard. In addition to seals, walruses, whales, arctic foxes, reindeer and all kinds of seabirds, the binoculars are of course aimed at spotting polar bears. As photographer Stephen Wilkes (represented in the Netherlands by ARTITLEDcontemporary) spotted and captured this pair.

Greenland

Greenland's ice sheet is an immeasurable white desert: from north to south nearly 2,400 kilometers long, 1,100 kilometers at its widest and an average thickness of 2,135 meters. It is an extraordinary experience to walk around this landscape of white dunes. Or to fly over them. A bucket list wish pur sang. Something you must experience and can experience right now. Because in the future Greenland could be truly green. The ice is melting rapidly: the global temperature has risen by one degree in the last ten years, in Greenland by no less than seven degrees.
