MORITSGARDEN
The rural way of community
Digital Nomad Coliving on the west coast of Norway
We believe in slow living — not slow infrastructure.
Everything is ready for you to arrive, plug in and get to work. The community is yours to discover — and help create.
Moritsgarden is Norway's longest-running digital nomad coliving community
Your own room, a fully equipped workstation and fast fiber internet.
Space to focus, mountains to explore, and a community where you can be yourself.
Regenerative Travel - The Magic is yours - and ours
We live in a world where we're constantly looking for like-minded people. But isn't it our differences that make communities work?
Here in Bjørkedalen, a small village facing the challenges of rural depopulation, our slowmads have proven something wonderful to us.
For five years, you've shown us how people from different backgrounds can build a community without giving up their individuality. This is no coincidence. We've carefully shaped Moritsgarden around trust, mutual respect and the freedom to be yourself — without rules for how to socialise. The community itself is yours to create.
And what a difference you've made! Your ideas, perspectives and inspiration keep making Moritsgarden a better place, year after year.
To us, that's regenerative travel. Not just visiting a place, but becoming part of its life.
Not a retreat from modern life.
But a different direction for it.
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 stilll in need of new input to meet the furure. Depopulation and apathy is a threat to so many villages in Norway like in the rest of the world. The nature and the history is a reason to invite new eyes to get us going.

LET NATURE REMIND YOU
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.
