STF Hostel Stora Frögården

The hostel is situated in the centre of a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the unique natural landscape of southern Öland which includes the nearby limestone barren plains of Stora Alvaret, rich in flora, fauna and history.

In its second year in 2004, the hostel received the Årets Kudde (Year’s Cushion) award from the STF organisation. And yes, a lot has happened since the building was originally used as an orphanage for ‘healthy children from homes with tuberculosis’. The hostel kitchen is still located in the old kitchen of the orphanage, but of course today has modern equipment. All rooms have their own toilet and most have their own shower.

If you are interested in old cookbooks then take a look on the shelves. At STF Stora Frögården you will find the only antiquarian bookseller of cookbooks. Bird watchers should visit nearby Beijershamn, a bird protection area. Windsurfers can be guaranteed a strong breeze: the coastline has been classified as one of the country’s best places for wind. At Stora Frögården you can enjoy a clear red sunset across Kalmarsund, the stretch of water between Öland and the mainland, take an evening walk along the beach or perhaps cool down with a night swim.
