2- Suspended Camping, Pfronten, Germany
Suspended Camping sits at the top of a mountain summit.
Guests can spend the night hanging off the treetops, suspended over a cliff face or within a hand-built igloo.
In the warmer months, you can sleep in your very own porter-ledge, hanging several metres above the ground from the limbs of trees.
The hanging tent has a fabric-covered platform supported by a metal frame.
It’s suspended from a secure single point.
At Waldseilgarten, the tents hang from thick branches of free-standing trees.
The only way up or down is by using a rope.
3- Kolarbyn Eco Lodge, Skinnskatteberg, Sweden
Although not actually in a tree, I still count this place as a treehouse.
Advertising itself as ‘Sweden’s most primitive hotel’, Kolarbyn is two hours from Stockholm.
These grass-clad forest huts are set deep in the forest. You can spend your days taking moose safaris or wolf howling trips.
A troll family adventure is even on the cards as well as forest hiking and fairy tales by the fire.
4- Tree Houses, Harads, Sweden
Treehotel in Sweden offers five incredibly unique rooms, all built among the tall pine forest. The Capsule is a container-like pod suspended in the trees.
The Mirrocube is exactly that – a mirror-clad cube that hides among the foliage and reflects its surroundings.
The Bird’s Nest is a gigantic nest-like blob complete with a retractable ladder. The Blue Cone (which is actually red – go figure) and is the most traditional looking of the rooms.
The UFO is anything but – another pod-like structure also with a retractable ladder. Add fog, which is common, and the UFO looks like it will take off at any time.
