When the world slows down and the days are short, Yūgen Forest invites you to find warmth – by the fire, in nature and with each other. During this Valentine’s edition of the Winter Wonder Retreat, you will experience an intimate weekend together filled with peace, simplicity and connection.

You will spend two nights in a cozy wooden cabin, enjoy wood-fired sauna and hot tub, eat vegetable dishes from an open fire and share the silence of the forest. No busy dinners or red roses, but the luxury of real togetherness: a hot bath, stars above your cabin, tea by the fireplace.

During the day you can hike, rest or participate in small craft workshops such as baking bread or mixing tea with herbs from the land. In the evenings, there is room for silence, relaxation and gentle conversations by the fire at Slot Roggebot – the beating heart of Yūgen Forest.

A weekend of fire, simplicity and love in its purest form.
