In 2006 Granliden received LRF’s grade labelling ”Naturlig laddning” (natural restoration). This is a certificate of health promoting arrangements in the nature. The project ”Naturlig laddning” has been discontinued but lives on under the new name ”Lugna naturupplevelser” (relaxing nature experiences).

On Granliden we continue to offer our guests natural restoration when desired.

”Naturlig laddning” is mainly based on the research that is made within the field of environmental psychology. Among other things the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp has researched how nature and parks affects our health and quality of life.

Most of all these studies reveal that sojourns and activities in nature areas appears beneficial for stressed people, that the ability to concentrate is increased and that blood pressure and pulse is affected positively.
