Moritsgarden
A small, untamed coliving on Norway’s west coast — no bosses, few rules, big on care. Nestled beside a protected olivine forest and centuries of boatbuilding craft, we blend regenerative travel with hands-on living: repair, build, create and appreciation of life, society, nature, selv. Daily life should consist of belonging, space and contentment. Let Bjørkedal tune you back to the pace of life, and by staying here, make this spot on earth richer than you found it.
Moritsgarden, a rural digital nomad society on the west coast of Norway. The four hundred year old farmhouse is turned into a high tech hope of a future of values. As we bring with us the wisdom incorporated in the walls.

Moritsgarden on the West Coast of Norway is the longest operating coliving for Digital Nomads in Norway.

The space, the freedom and the respect for each other is the root of all things magic.
Coliving in medieval heritage
BJØRKEDAL
The history of a small village on the west coast of Norway
Famous for its boatbuilders, the protected olivine woods and amazing beauty. This small and proud village is no longer at its peak, but the nature and the history is a reason to invite new eyes to get us going.
THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL NOMAD LIFE
Moritsgarden offering slow breath and fast net
Facilitator of all good things
How about going to the next level of possibilities in your digital nomad life. We know by experience that after months and years on movement, it gets in your blood. The travel, the wind in the sails. The nomadic life is our ancient heritage. We might be lonely wolfs, but we also need the tribe, the flock.
As humans, as nomads we are different personalities. Some are more social than the rest of us who travel for the love of lone-ness. But we all need the feeling of humans around us from time to time. In Moritsgarden you have enough space to breathe inside a genuine society.

Sustainable is not a new fashion-word for us, it is our life and our traditions
For the small trips to Nordfjordeid for shopping and cafe-life, we have a community car. If you want to go sightseeing, we recommend Getaround, a cheap carsharing company.
Bjørkedal is a remote village, and still we are in the middle of everything. You can visit all the places under in daytrips. (For the Atlantic Road and Trollstigen we recommend to make it in two days though)

FREEDOM GENERATION
Digital nomads come in many forms. Some live like carefree travelers, others are tech-savvy people who spot opportunities and feel a responsibility to explore them. Some are seeking freedom and find that digital tools are the key. We welcome you all — for daring to step into the unknown and for the fresh ways of thinking that you bring.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
To help rural villages survive, the future is not to make people move there permanently. We need the intelligence, we need initiative, we need inspiration and knowledge of those who have decided to make life into an adventure of exploration, happiness and possibilities. You can give so much back just by visiting a village for a month or two. And you win more than a hundred yoga lessons. Nature, the calm attitude in our blood and our deep and simple wisdom is your gift back.
